.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Create a display, or window, with the specified dimensions.
The parameters of the display are determined by the last calls to
al_set_new_display_*.
Default parameters are used if none are set explicitly.
Creating a new display will automatically make it the active one, with
the backbuffer selected for drawing.
.PP
Returns NULL on error.
.PP
Each display that uses OpenGL as a backend has a distinct OpenGL
rendering context associated with it.
See al_set_target_bitmap(3alleg5) for the discussion about rendering
contexts.
