Threads Information HP OpenGL supports Level 1b threads for this release. This means HP OpenGL can be used in a threaded application, but all OpenGL calls must reside in a single thread. Other threads can be used for computations, etc. Note that using OpenGL graphics in a Kernel threaded application requires that the application link with libpthread.sl (not the archived version, libpthread.a). Also, note that OpenGL libraries are not cancel safe or fork safe. For additional information on using threads, refer to the following documentation: * The http://www.docs.hp.com/ Web site (search for "Threads and Multiprocessing") * The OpenGL Programming Guide * The OpenGL Reference Manual * Threadtime by S.
