Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code is set as follows:

#ifndef _H_MATH_VECTORS_
#define _H_MATH_VECTORS_

// Structure definitions
// Method declarations

#endif

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Under the Application divider you will find the code"

Note

Creating a Win32 window with an active OpenGL Context is outside the scope of this book. For a better understanding of how Win32 code works with OpenGL read: https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Creating_an_OpenGL_Context_(WGL)
