Hi,

I am beginner in opengl programming. I have an assignment to render graphics of a game in multiple windows with single opengl context shared between all the windows.  
Is this possible to do with GLFW?  
I tried using freeglut but I read on stackoverflow that it does not implement sharing of context in true sense.

Can you guys please provide some insight into this ?

Thanks,  
M.S.
