# makeCurrentContext()

Sets the context as the current OpenGL context object.

## Declaration

```swift
func makeCurrentContext()
```

## Discussion

Discussion Subsequent OpenGL calls are rendered into the context defined by the receiver. note: A context is current on a per-thread basis. Multiple threads must serialize calls into the same context object.
