<p>
There are lots of stereo modes in Togl because there are many ways to
draw stereo with different tradeoffs.
All of the stereo modes are choosen with the
<a href="tclapi.html#pixelformat">
<code>-stereo</code> configuration option</a>.
All of the non-native stereo techniques
are software-only and can be changed at anytime.
<p>
When using a non-native stereo mode, the OpenGL
<code>glDrawBuffer</code>, <code>glClear</code>,
<code>glFrustum</code>, and <code>glOrtho</code> calls
should be replaced with the Togl
<a href="tclapi.html#stereo cmds">Tcl</a> or
<a href="capi.html#stereo">C</a> versions
for seemless stereo rendering.
<p>
The various stereo modes are:
<dl>
<dt>
<a name="none"></a><code>none</code> <i>or</i> ""
<dd>
Turn off stereo.
<dt><code>native</code>
<dd>
Use native OpenGL hardware accelerated stereo
(single- or double-buffered for both the left and the right eyes).
Each eye is drawn at full window resolution
which gives the best stereo image.
This mode requires support from the graphics driver and is
typically only supported on workstation-class graphics cards, <i>e.g.</i>,
<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/page/workstation.html">NVidia Quadro</a>,
<a href="http://ati.amd.com/products/workstation.html">ATI FireGL</a>,
<a href="http://www.matrox.com/graphics/">Matrix Parhelia</a>,
<a href="http://www.3dlabs.com/content/wildcat.asp">3DLabs Wildcat</a>
graphics cards
and <a href="http://www.sgi.com/">SGI</a> workstations.
The video refresh rate is changed automatically by the windowing system
except on SGI workstations.
Developers for SGI workstations can either switch the video manually with
<code>/usr/gfx/setmon</code> or <code>/usr/bin/X11/xsetmon</code>, or use the
<a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Overview/software.html#autostereo">
autostereo</a> package.
<p>
Currently, there is a limitation that a togl widget can not be
reconfigured in or out of the native stereo mode.
And if/when it is supported,
some graphics drivers might not allow it.
<dt>
<a name="anaglyph"></a><code>anaglyph</code>
<dd>
Draw the left eye in the red part of the color buffer
and the right eye in the blue and green parts.
Designed to be viewed with inexpensive red-blue or red-cyan glasses.
Works best with gray scale and non-saturated color images.
<dt>
<a name="cross"></a><code>cross-eye</code>
<dd>
Draw right eye image on the left half of screen,
and draw left eye image on the right half of screen.
So each eye is drawn at less than half of the window resolution.
<dt>
<a name="wall"></a><code>wall-eye</code>
<dd>
Draw left eye image on the left half of the screen,
and draw right eye image on the right half of the screen.
So each eye is drawn at less than half of the window resolution.
<dt>
<a name="dti"></a><code>dti</code>
<dd>
Designed for <a href="http://www.dti3d.com/">DTI</a> displays.
If you look at the window unassisted,
you'll see horizonally squished images
with the left eye image on the left,
and right eye image on the right.
So each eye is drawn at half of the window resolution.
<dt>
<a name="left"></a><code>left eye</code>
<dd>
Only draw left eye view at full resolution.
<dt>
<a name="right"></a><code>right eye</code>
<dd>
Only draw right eye view at full resolution.
<dt>
<a name="sgioldstyle"></a><code>sgioldstyle</code>
<dd>
Support older-style SGI stereo where you lose half of the vertical resolution.
This uses the SGIStereo X extension,
that is only available on SGI workstations,
to tell the X server to duplicate non-stereo windows into both eyes.
This option only works when the monitor has been changed to the one
of the <code>str_top</code>, <code>str_bot</code>, or <code>str_rect</code> video output modes.
<!--
<dt>
<a name="nvidia"></a><code>nvidia consumer stereo</code>
<dd>
Use the
<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/drivers">NVidia Consumer 3D Stereo</a> driver.
This only works with NVidia consumer graphics cards on Microsoft Windows
and when the Togl window covers the full screen.
NVidia Quadro users should use the <code>native</code> stereo mode.
