NAME

       vpCreateContext, vpDestroyContext - create/destroy a rendering context

SYNOPSIS

       #include <volpack.h>

       vpContext *
       vpCreateContext()

       void
       vpDestroyContext(vpc)
           vpContext *vpc;

ARGUMENTS

       vpc    VolPack context from vpCreateContext.

DESCRIPTION

       vpCreateContext  returns a handle for a new rendering context.  It contains default values
       for most of the rendering parameters.

       vpDestroyContext destroys a rendering context and frees the associated memory.  Only  data
       structures  allocated  by  the library are freed; application-defined data structures that
       are referenced in the rendering context through a pointer are not  freed  (e.g. arrays  of
       volume  data and shading lookup tables).  The application is responsible for keeping track
       of such data structures and freeing them when appropriate.
