glfwSwapInterval

Sets the swap interval for the current context.

function glfwSwapInterval(int $interval) : void

This function sets the swap interval for the current OpenGL or OpenGL ES context, i.e. the number of screen updates to wait from the time @ref glfwSwapBuffers was called before swapping the buffers and returning. This is sometimes called vertical synchronization, vertical retrace synchronization or just vsync.

A context that supports either of the WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear and GLX_EXT_swap_control_tear extensions also accepts negative swap intervals, which allows the driver to swap immediately even if a frame arrives a little bit late. You can check for these extensions with @ref glfwExtensionSupported.

A context must be current on the calling thread. Calling this function without a current context will cause a GLFW_NO_CURRENT_CONTEXT error.

This function does not apply to Vulkan. If you are rendering with Vulkan, see the present mode of your swapchain instead.

arguments
  1. int $interval The minimum number of screen updates to wait for until the buffers are swapped by glfwSwapBuffers.
returns

void
