HELP!!! Simple glOrtho problem!
Post: #1
Hey,
can anyone explain to me why this code doesn't generate a visible red line from the left bottom to the top right corner of my window?
As you can see, I have specified the viewable volume as a cube of length one, one corner at (0, 0, 0), the other one at (1, 1, 1). I'm drawing the diagonal line through these two corners, so what I should expect on the 2D window surface is a diagonal line across the window. Why isn't this happening? My window remains BLACK.
Please help. This is such a simple thing, and I'm stuck at this already.
Cheers
Marvin
can anyone explain to me why this code doesn't generate a visible red line from the left bottom to the top right corner of my window?
Code:
void initGL()
{
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Black background
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.f, 1.f, 0.f, 1.f, 0.f, 1.f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
}
void display()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear screen and depth buffer
glColor4f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glBegin(GL_LINES);
glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) // Create main function for bringing it all together
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB); // Display mode
glutInitWindowSize(500, 500);
glutCreateWindow("Aufgabe ?");
initGL();
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutReshapeFunc(reshape);
glutKeyboardFunc(key); // callback for key input
// glutIdleFunc(display); // If continuous animation is required
glutMainLoop(); // Initialize the main loop

try
glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
and
glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
my guess is that your vertices are both getting culled
glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
and
glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
my guess is that your vertices are both getting culled

Hey folks, problem solved!
Didn't know GL_MODELVIEW is by default made to look down the negative z-Axis. Made the necessary adjustments.
As for my reshape function, it just calls the display function
Thanks
