/**
  The Fl_Gl_Window widget sets things up so OpenGL works.
  
  It also keeps an OpenGL "context" for that window, so that changes to the
  lighting and projection may be reused between redraws. Fl_Gl_Window
  also flushes the OpenGL streams and swaps buffers after draw() returns.

  OpenGL hardware typically provides some overlay bit planes, which
  are very useful for drawing UI controls atop your 3D graphics.  If the
  overlay hardware is not provided, FLTK tries to simulate the overlay.
  This works pretty well if your graphics are double buffered, but not
  very well for single-buffered.

  Please note that the FLTK drawing and clipping functions
  will not work inside an Fl_Gl_Window. All drawing
  should be done using OpenGL calls exclusively.
  Even though Fl_Gl_Window is derived from Fl_Group, 
  it is not useful to add other FLTK Widgets as children,
  unless those widgets are modified to draw using OpenGL calls.

    initializing the OpenGL context. Just do this:
    \code
    void mywindow::draw() {

       glViewport(0,0,pixel_w(),pixel_h());
       glFrustum(...);

       ...load textures, etc. ...
     }
     ... draw your geometry here ...
    }
    \endcode
    
    You can turn valid() on by calling valid(1).  You
    should only do this after fixing the transformation inside a draw()
    or after make_current().  This is done automatically after 
    draw() returns.

    Set or change the OpenGL capabilites of the window.  The value can be
    any of the following OR'd together:

    - \c FL_RGB - RGB color (not indexed)
    - \c FL_RGB8 - RGB color with at least 8 bits of each color
    - \c FL_INDEX - Indexed mode
    - \c FL_SINGLE - not double buffered
    - \c FL_DOUBLE - double buffered
    - \c FL_ACCUM - accumulation buffer
    - \c FL_ALPHA - alpha channel in color
    - \c FL_DEPTH - depth buffer
    - \c FL_STENCIL - stencil buffer
    - \c FL_MULTISAMPLE - multisample antialiasing

    FL_RGB and FL_SINGLE have a value of zero, so they
    are "on" unless you give FL_INDEX or FL_DOUBLE.

    If the desired combination cannot be done, FLTK will try turning off 
    FL_MULTISAMPLE.  If this also fails the show() will call 
    Fl::error() and not show the window.

    You can change the mode while the window is displayed.  This is most
    useful for turning double-buffering on and off.  Under X this will
    cause the old X window to be destroyed and a new one to be created.  If
    this is a top-level window this will unfortunately also cause the
    window to blink, raise to the top, and be de-iconized, and the xid()
    will change, possibly breaking other code.  It is best to make the GL
    window a child of another window if you wish to do this!

    mode() must not be called within draw() since it
    changes the current context.
