/**
 * SECTION:cogl-display
 * @short_description: Common aspects of a display pipeline
 *
 * The basic intention for this object is to let the application
 * configure common display preferences before creating a context, and
 * there are a few different aspects to this...
 *
 * Firstly there are options directly relating to the physical display
 * pipeline that is currently being used including the digital to
 * analogue conversion hardware and the screens the user sees.
 *
 * Another aspect is that display options may constrain or affect how
 * onscreen framebuffers should later be configured. The original
 * rationale for the display object in fact was to let us handle GLX
 * and EGLs requirements that framebuffers must be "compatible" with
 * the config associated with the current context meaning we have to
 * force the user to describe how they would like to create their
 * onscreen windows before we can choose a suitable fbconfig and
 * create a GLContext.

 * @onscreen_template: A #CoglOnscreenTemplate

 * Explicitly allocates a new #CoglDisplay object to encapsulate the
 * common state of the display pipeline that applies to the whole
 * application.
 *
 * <note>Many applications don't need to explicitly use
 * cogl_display_new() and can just jump straight to cogl_context_new()
 * and pass a %NULL display argument so Cogl will automatically
 * connect and setup a renderer and display.</note>
 *
 * A @display can only be made for a specific choice of renderer which
 * is why this takes the @renderer argument.
 *
 * A common use for explicitly allocating a display object is to
 * define a template for allocating onscreen framebuffers which is
 * what the @onscreen_template argument is for, or alternatively
 * you can use cogl_display_set_onscreen_template().
 *
 * When a display is first allocated via cogl_display_new() it is in a
 * mutable configuration mode. It's designed this way so we can
 * extend the apis available for configuring a display without
 * requiring huge numbers of constructor arguments.
 *
 * When you have finished configuring a display object you can
 * optionally call cogl_display_setup() to explicitly apply the
 * configuration and check for errors. Alternaitvely you can pass the
 * display to cogl_context_new() and Cogl will implicitly apply your
 * configuration but if there are errors then the application will
 * abort with a message. For simple applications with no fallback
 * options then relying on the implicit setup can be fine.
