OpenGL and GLUT Overview
What Is OpenGL? Graphics rendering API high-quality color images composed of geometric and image primitives window system independent operating system independent developed by SGI OpenGL is a library for doing computer graphics. By using it, you can create interactive applications which render high-quality color images composed of 3D geometric objects and images. OpenGL is window and operating system independent. As such, the part of your application which does rendering is platform independent. However, in order for OpenGL to be able to render, it needs a window to draw into. Generally, this is controlled by the windowing system on whatever platform you’re working on.

OpenGL Primitive Syntax glBegin ( type ); glVertex* ( . . . ); . glEnd ( );
Simple Example glBegin( GL_QUADS ); glColor3fv( color ); glVertex2f( 0.0, 0.0 ); glVertex2f( 1.0, 0.0 ); glVertex2f( 1.5, 1.118 ); glVertex2f( 0.5, 1.118 ); glEnd(); The drawRhombus() routine causes OpenGL to render a single quadrilateral in a single color. The rhombus is planar, since the z value is automatically set to 0.0 by glVertex2f().
OpenGL Command Formats glVertex3fv( v ) Number of components Data Type Vector b - byte ub - unsigned byte s - short us - unsigned short i - int ui - unsigned int f - float d - double omit “v” for scalar form glVertex2f( x, y ) The OpenGL API calls are designed to accept almost any basic data type, which is reflected in the calls name. Knowing how the calls are structured makes it easy to determine which call should be used for a particular data format and size. For instance, vertices from most commercial models are stored as three component floating point vectors. As such, the appropriate OpenGL command to use is glVertex3fv( coords ). As mentioned before, OpenGL uses homogenous coordinates to specify vertices. For glVertex*() calls which don’t specify all the coordinates ( i.e. glVertex2f()), OpenGL will default z = 0.0, and w = 1.0 . 2 - (x,y) 3 - (x,y,z) 4 - (x,y,z,w)

Other Simple OpenGL Attributes glClearColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0); Sets background color to white Fourth argument is transparency; 0.0 is opaque Sets a state variable glPointSize(2.0); Sets point size to be 2 pixels wide Note that this is not a device-independent attribute glLinewidth (2.0);

OpenGL Library Functions GL library contains all primitive and attribute functions associated with OpenGL GLU GLU library builds on the GL library to include more complex primitives (e.g. spheres) and convenience functions GLUT (GL Utility Toolkit) includes functions to interface with the native window system, including window creation, management of input devices GLUT

Setting Viewing Matrix in GL: A Simple Case glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); Sets the switch so that loaded matrix goes into the projection stack. glLoadIdentity(); Pushes an identity matrix onto the stack; gluOrtho2D(GLdouble left, Gldouble right, Gldouble bottom, Gldouble top); Sets the current view to an orthographic projection with view volume bounded by x = left, x = right, y = bottom, y = top, z = -1.0 and z = 1.0.
Clipper

Rasterizer
Simple GLUT Window Management Functions glutInit(int *argc, char** argv); Initializes a window session. glutCreateWindow(char *name); Creates a window with title *name. glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB); Sets the display mode to single buffered and RGB color. glutInitWindowSize (GLsizei h, GLsizei w); Sets initial window size to h x w. glutInitWindowPosition(x,y); Sets initial window position to (x, y).
Form of Simplest glut/OpenGL program #include <glut.h> /* glut.h includes gl.h and glu.h */ void init (void) { /* Usually contains setting of the viewing transformation*/ } void display (void) /*This function contains all of the draw/redraw commands
Form of Simplest glut/OpenGL program (slide 2) void reshape (int w, int h) { /* What to do whenever the window is resized. Usually includes resetting the viewport */ } int main (int argc, char ** argv) glutInit(int *argc, char** argv); /* init glut */ glutCreate Window(char *name); /* create window */ glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB); glutInitWindowSize (GLsizei h, GLsizei w); glutInitWindowPosition(x,y); init (); glutDisplayFunc(display); /* register display */ glutReshapeFunc(reshape); /* register reshape */ glutMainLoop(); /* enter event loop */ return 0;
GLUT Callback Functions Routine to call when something happens window resize or redraw user input animation “Register” callbacks with GLUT glutDisplayFunc( display ); glutIdleFunc( idle ); glutKeyboardFunc( keyboard );
Rendering Callback Do all of your drawing here glutDisplayFunc( display ); void display( void ) { glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT ); glBegin( GL_QUADS ); glVertex3fv( v[0] ); glVertex3fv( v[1] ); glVertex3fv( v[2] ); glVertex3fv( v[3] ); glEnd(); glFlush (); }
