NAME

       gl_allocatecontext - allocate a graphics context

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgagl.h>

       GraphicsContext *gl_allocatecontext(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Allocate  a  graphics  context. This is preferred to hardcoding a context variable in a program since the
       latter is incompatible with a future vgagl version that have additional context fields.
