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.
