////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// \class sf::ContextSettings
/// \ingroup window
///
/// ContextSettings allows to define several advanced settings
/// of the OpenGL context attached to a window. All these
/// settings with the exception of the compatibility flag
/// and anti-aliasing level have no impact on the regular
/// SFML rendering (graphics module), so you may need to use
/// this structure only if you're using SFML as a windowing
/// system for custom OpenGL rendering.
///
/// The depthBits and stencilBits members define the number
/// of bits per pixel requested for the (respectively) depth
/// and stencil buffers.
///
/// antialiasingLevel represents the requested number of
/// multisampling levels for anti-aliasing.
///
/// majorVersion and minorVersion define the version of the
/// OpenGL context that you want. Only versions greater or
/// equal to 3.0 are relevant; versions lesser than 3.0 are
/// all handled the same way (i.e. you can use any version
/// < 3.0 if you don't want an OpenGL 3 context).
///
/// When requesting a context with a version greater or equal
/// to 3.2, you have the option of specifying whether the
/// context should follow the core or compatibility profile
/// of all newer (>= 3.2) OpenGL specifications. For versions
/// 3.0 and 3.1 there is only the core profile. By default
/// a compatibility context is created. You only need to specify
/// the core flag if you want a core profile context to use with
/// your own OpenGL rendering.
/// <b>Warning: The graphics module will not function if you
/// request a core profile context. Make sure the attributes are
/// set to Default if you want to use the graphics module.</b>
///
/// Setting the debug attribute flag will request a context with
/// additional debugging features enabled. Depending on the
/// system, this might be required for advanced OpenGL debugging.
/// OpenGL debugging is disabled by default.
///
/// <b>Special Note for OS X:</b>
/// Apple only supports choosing between either a legacy context
/// (OpenGL 2.1) or a core context (OpenGL version depends on the
/// operating system version but is at least 3.2). Compatibility
/// contexts are not supported. Further information is available on the
/// <a href="https://developer.apple.com/opengl/capabilities/index.html">
/// OpenGL Capabilities Tables</a> page. OS X also currently does
/// not support debug contexts.
///
/// Please note that these values are only a hint.
/// No failure will be reported if one or more of these values
/// are not supported by the system; instead, SFML will try to
/// find the closest valid match. You can then retrieve the
/// settings that the window actually used to create its context,
/// with Window::getSettings().
