glutInitDisplayString() permits you to define a display mode for subsequent windows that you open. In most regards, control is at least as fine as with glutInitDisplaymode().

The Bf Sy
displayMode Ef
parameter is case-sensitive, and tokens are separated by ASCII TABs (\t) and SPACEs.

CAVEATS

Conflicting modes, such as Bf Sy

and Bf Sy

have the same interaction as for glutInitDisplayMode().

and Bf Sy
GLUT_OFFSCREEN Ef
are not represented.

Not all features appear to be implemented. In particular, numeric parameters and comparator specifications are lacking. See GLUT 3.7 sources for example.
