Basic OpenGL reshape function question... - WhatMeWorry - Mar 24, 2011 03:03 PM

Code:

void reshape1(int width, int height)

{

   glViewport(0, 0, width, height);

   glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);

   glLoadIdentity();

        [b]gluPerspective(); or glFrustrum(); or glOrtho();[/b]

   glGetDoublev(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, projection);

   glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

   glLoadIdentity();

   gluLookAt(lookat[0].value, lookat[1].value, lookat[2].value,

                      lookat[3].value, lookat[4].value, lookat[5].value,

                      lookat[6].value, lookat[7].value, lookat[8].value);

   glGetDoublev(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, modelview);

   glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

}

void reshape2(int width, int height)

{

   same as above: glViewport(), glMatrixMode, glLoadIdentity

       [b]gluPerspective(60.0, (GLfloat)width/height, 1.0, 256.0);[/b]

    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

    glLoadIdentity();

    glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, -5.0);

    glRotatef(-45.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);

    glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

  }

This is Nate Robin's code from his projection tutorial and I'm wondering why the reshape1 function has the glGetDoublev(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, projection); statement whereas reshape2 does not? And I'm correct in saying that the reshape2 function doesn't have a gluLookAt() function because it uses all default values?

Thanks in advance.

Presumably he gets the projection matrix because he wants it later. You shouldn't call glGet. He has to because he's writing an odd tutorial app

You can always replace gluLookAt with translations and rotations. gluLookAt simply packages the information in terms of camera position and direction.
