glutIgnoreKeyRepeat - determines if auto repeat keystrokes
       are reported to the current window


SYNTAX

       void glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(int ignore);


ARGUMENTS

       ignore    Non-zero indicates auto repeat keystrokes should
                 not  be  reported  by  the  keyboard and special
                 callbacks;  zero  indicates  that  auto   repeat
                 keystrokes will be reported.


DESCRIPTION

       glutIgnoreKeyRepeat  determines  if auto repeat keystrokes
       are reported to  the  current  window.   The  ignore  auto
       repeat  state  of  a  window  can  be queried with glutDe-
       viceGet(GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT).

       Ignoring auto repeated keystrokes  is  generally  done  in
       conjunction with using the glutKeyboardUpFunc and glutSpe-
       cialUpFunc callbacks to repeat key releases.   If  you  do
       not ignore auto repeated keystrokes, your GLUT application
       will experience repeated release/press  callbacks.   Games
       using  the  keyboard  will  typically  want  to ignore key
       repeat.


GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR X11

       X11 sends KeyPress events repeatedly when the window  sys-
       tem's  global auto repeat is enabled.  glutIgnoreKeyRepeat
       can prevent these  auto  repeated  keystrokes  from  being
       reported  as  keyboard  or special callbacks, but there is
       still some minimal overhead by the X server to continually
       stream KeyPress events to the GLUT application.  The glut-
       SetKeyRepeat routine can be used to actually  disable  the
       global  sending  of  auto  repeated KeyPress events.  Note
       that glutSetKeyRepeat affects  the  global  window  system
       auto  repeat  state  so  other  applications will not auto
       repeat if you disable auto repeat globally  through  glut-
       SetKeyRepeat.
