NAME

glutSpecialUpFunc - sets the special keyboard up (key release) callback for the current window.

SYNTAX

void glutSpecialUpFunc(void (*func)(int key, int x, int y));

ARGUMENTS

func

The new special callback function.

DESCRIPTION

glutSpecialUpFunc sets the special keyboard up (key release) callback for the current window. The special keyboard up callback is triggered when keyboard function or directional keys are released. The key callback parameter is a GLUT_KEY_* constant for the special key pressed. The x and y callback parameters indicate the mouse in window relative coordinates when the key was pressed. When a new window is created, no special up callback is initially registered and special key releases in the window are ignored. Passing NULL to glutSpecialUpFunc disables the generation of special up callbacks.

During a special up callback, glutGetModifiers may be called to determine the state of modifier keys when the key release generating the callback occurred.

To avoid the reporting of key release/press pairs due to auto repeat, use glutIgnoreKeyRepeat to ignore auto repeated keystrokes.

An implementation should do its best to provide ways to generate all the GLUT_KEY_* special keys. The available GLUT_KEY_* values are:
GLUT_KEY_F1

F1 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F2

F2 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F3

F3 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F4

F4 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F5

F5 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F6

F6 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F7

F7 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F8

F8 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F9

F9 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F10

F10 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F11

F11 function key.

GLUT_KEY_F12

F12 function key.

GLUT_KEY_LEFT

Left directional key.

GLUT_KEY_UP

Up directional key.

GLUT_KEY_RIGHT

Right directional key.

GLUT_KEY_DOWN

Down directional key.

GLUT_KEY_PAGE_UP

Page up directional key.

GLUT_KEY_PAGE_DOWN

Page down directional key.

GLUT_KEY_HOME

Home directional key.

GLUT_KEY_END

End directional key.

GLUT_KEY_INSERT

Inset directional key.

Note that the escape, backspace, and delete keys are generated as an ASCII character.
