stereobuffer(3G)                                              stereobuffer(3G)



NAME
     stereobuffer - configures the framebuffer for stereoscopic viewing

C SPECIFICATION
     void stereobuffer(void)

PARAMETERS
     none

DESCRIPTION
     stereobuffer invokes stereoscopic buffer mode.  When stereobuffer is
     selected in conjunction with singlebuffer, two color buffers (left and
     right) are allocated.  When stereobuffer is selected in conjunction with
     doublebuffer, four color buffers (front-left, front-right, back-left, and
     back-right) are allocated.

     stereobuffer does not take effect until gconfig is called.  If neither
     monobuffer nor stereobuffer is called, gconfig defaults to monoscopic
     buffer mode.

SEE ALSO
     gconfig, monobuffer, setmon(1G)

NOTES
     stereobuffer configures the framebuffer to store left and right images,
     but it does not cause these images to be presented correctly to the
     viewer.  setmon(1G) must be called to display the stereo images
     correctly.

     When the framebuffer is not configured for stereo display, the left
     buffer is displayed.

     IRIS-4D G, GT, GTX, VGX, and VGXT models, the Personal Iris, Indy, Indigo
     Entry, XL, XS, XS24, XZ, Elan and Extreme systems do not support
     stereobuffer.
