						The new overlay display callback function.

			<a href="glutDisplayFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutDisplayFunc</tt></a> sets the overlay display callback for the current window. The
			overlay display callback is functionally the same as the window's display callback except that the overlay display
			callback is used to redisplay the window's overlay.
		</p><p>
			When GLUT determines that the overlay plane for the window needs to be redisplayed, the overlay display callback for
			the window is called. Before the callback, the current window is set to the window needing to be redisplayed and the
			layer in use is set to the overlay. The overlay display callback is called with no parameters. The entire overlay
			region should be redisplayed in response to the callback (this includes ancillary buffers if your program depends on
			their state).
		</p><p>
			GLUT determines when the overlay display callback should be triggered based on the window's overlay redisplay state.
			The overlay redisplay state for a window can be either set explicitly by calling <a href="glutPostOverlayRedisplay.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutPostOverlayRedisplay</tt></a> or implicitly as the result of window damage reported by the
			window system. Multiple posted overlay redisplays for a window are coalesced by GLUT to minimize the number of overlay
			display callbacks called.
		</p><p>
			Upon return from the overlay display callback, the overlay damaged state of the window (returned by calling <tt>glutLayerGet(GLUT_OVERLAY_DAMAGED)</tt> is cleared.
		</p><p>
			The overlay display callback can be deregistered by passing <tt>NULL</tt> to
			<tt>glutOverlayDisplayFunc</tt>. The overlay display callback is initially <tt>NULL</tt> when
			an overlay is established. See <a href="glutDisplayFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutDisplayFunc</tt></a> to understand how the display
			callback alone is used if an overlay display callback is not registered.
