Minimal Windowless OpenGL Context Initialization

Question

How can I initialize a windowless OpenGL context with the minimal amount of code?

I\'ve read here that you can use wglCreateContextAttribsARB to create

Answer 1

The usual way to implement offscreen rendering is:

1. Create a dummy window + OpenGL context to get access to extensions
2. Obtain the functions to create a PBuffer
3. Create a PBuffer DC
4. Create an OpenGL context on the PBuffer
5. Destroy the dummy window

Another option is using Framebuffer Objects (FBO) by which you create a regular OpenGL window, but instead of rendering to the main framebuffer you render to Framebuffer Object buffers, with the OpenGL window being made invisible.
