How to add texture to this sphere? - c++

Question

I have created a rotating wired sphere. I have done textures to a cube but sphere seems to be a problem.
I want to add world map as a texture to this sphere. Any suggestions?

The problem with applying a 2D texture is that when you wrap a 2D texture onto a sphere, the top and bottom area of the sphere, the texture looks squeezed.

I suggest to use gluSphere and gluQuadricTexture rather than glutSolidSphere. e.g:
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
GLUquadric *qobj = gluNewQuadric();
gluQuadricTexture(qobj, GL_TRUE);
gluSphere(qobj, radius, 20, 20);
gluDeleteQuadric(qobj);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
For an continuously rotation, you have increment the rotation angle and to continuously update the window (glutPostRedisplay). e.g.:
void redisplayFunc(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, -4.5);
glRotatef(yRotated, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
GLUquadric *qobj = gluNewQuadric();
gluQuadricTexture(qobj, GL_TRUE);
gluSphere(qobj, radius, 20, 20);
gluDeleteQuadric(qobj);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glFlush();
yRotated += 1;
glutPostRedisplay();
}
