SDL_GL_ALPHA_SIZE |
the minimum number of bits for the alpha channel of the color buffer; defaults to 0 |
SDL_GL_BUFFER_SIZE |
the minimum number of bits for frame buffer size; defaults to 0 |
SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER |
whether the output is single or double buffered; defaults to double buffering on |
SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE |
the minimum number of bits in the depth buffer; defaults to 16 |
SDL_GL_STENCIL_SIZE |
the minimum number of bits in the stencil buffer; defaults to 0 |
SDL_GL_ACCUM_RED_SIZE |
the minimum number of bits for the red channel of the accumulation buffer; defaults to 0 |

SDL_GL_STEREO |
whether the output is stereo 3D; defaults to off |
SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS |
the number of buffers used for multisample anti-aliasing; defaults to 0; see Remarks for details |
SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES |
the number of samples used around the current pixel used for multisample anti-aliasing; defaults to 0; see Remarks for details |
SDL_GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL |
set to 1 to require hardware acceleration, set to 0 to force software rendering; defaults to allow either |
SDL_GL_RETAINED_BACKING |
not used (deprecated) |
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION |
OpenGL context major version; see Remarks for details |
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION |
OpenGL context minor version; see Remarks for details |
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL |
set to 1 to use EGL; default is platform-dependent |
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS |
some combination of 0 or more of elements of the SDL_GLcontextFlag enumeration; defaults to 0 |
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK |
one of the members of the SDL_GLprofile enumeration or 0 to allow any profile; defaults to 0 |
SDL_GL_SHARE_WITH_CURRENT_CONTEXT |
OpenGL context sharing; defaults to 0 |

Remarks
While you can set most OpenGL attributes normally, the attributes listed above must be known before SDL sets the video mode. These attributes are set and read with SDL_GL_SetAttribute() and SDL_GL_GetAttribute().
Multisample anti-aliasing is a type of full screen anti-aliasing. Multipsampling defaults to off but can be turned on by setting SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS to 1 and SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES to a value greater than 0. Typical values are 2 and 4.
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION and SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION are used when creating an OpenGL 3.x context.
