How can I stop flickering? - c++

I made this code for a bounce ball around the screen, as it turns out it doesn't work as I spected.
I am working in OpenGL with glut and c++.
My question is: How can I stop the flickering on the run?

As you can see, I tried the doubleBuffer stuff, didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong
glutSwapBuffers();

Well it turns out as I'm still a noob here i did not debugged this code the right way, thankfully to #andreas and #genpfault I was able to solve it. Thanks to all of you. The solution was not having used glEnd() at the end of my file... so yeah kind of a sneaky error.

OpenGL animation for scrolling text horizontally doesnt scroll

I am trying to scroll a text as a banner. I used openGL with glut to make this work. The whole code works if I use a figure like a square. The square scrolls over the screen.
Now I want to do this with text. Every time this program started. The text came at its starting position, but when the timer starts, it vanished. This is probably because the screen was cleared every clocktick, but the screen doesn't build up again.
Someone who can help me with this translation animation and text?

glTranslate does not just set a translation matrix, but multiply the current matrix by a translation matrix. You need to load the identity matrix with glLoadIdentity before glTranslatef or save and restore the current matrix with glPushMatrix/glPopMatrix:
void draw()
{
const char* bitmap_font_names[7] = { "Hello train" };
glPushMatrix();
/* Draw the strings, according to the current mode and font. */
glTranslatef(0.5, -100, 0);
//set the text color
glColor4f(0.0f, 255.0f, 140.0f, 1.0f);
ystep = 100.0;
yild = 20.0;
glRasterPos2f(x_pos, y_pos + 1.25 * yild);
print_bitmap_string(bitmap_font_names[0]);

}

I have uploaded this code before but this time I made the square go all the way up. The code just moves the square up, but I don't know how to position it on the left once it reaches the top, so then I can make it move to the right. I have uploaded a demonstration on how I want it to look below.
Preview:
What I want it to do next:
I recommend to initialize the variables squareX, squareY and squareZ with the start position of the rectangle:
float squareX = 162.0f;
float squareY = 0.0f;
float squareZ = 0.0f;
Do not draw a rectangle specific position, but draw a rectangle on the position (0,0) with a length (width, height). Let the model matrix (set by glTranslatef), do the job of the positioning:
void drawShape(void)
{
float width = 58.0f;
float height = 40.0f;
glTranslatef(squareX, squareY, squareZ);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(0, 0);
glVertex2f(width, 0);
glVertex2f(width, height);
glVertex2f(0, height);
glVertex2f(0, 0);
glEnd();
}
Use a variable state, which has stated the direction of the current movement:
int state = 1; // 0: stop; 1: move up; 2: move right
If the rectangle a certain position has reached, then the state has to be changed and a the new start position can be set. At the final position, the rectangle can stop or the process can even be restarted:
void update(int value)
{
if (state == 1) // 1 : move up
{
squareY += 1.0f;
if (squareY > 400.0)
{
state = 2;
squareX = 0.0f;
squareY = 180.0f;
}
}
else if (state == 2) // 2 : move right
{
squareX += 1.0f;
if (squareX > 400.0)
{
state = 0;
// restart
//state = 1;
//squareX = 162.0f;
//squareY = 0.0f;
}
}
glutPostRedisplay();
glutTimerFunc(25, update, 0);
}

Rotating around a point different from origin

I'm trying to code a camera with glTranslate/glRotate. To implement the look-up / look-down functions I need all the objects in my rendering space to rotate around a point (that is, where the "camera" is at), point which usually differs from the origin. Still, things keep rotating around the origin. Is there a way to specify a different point?
EDIT: Added code
Thanks for your fast reply. It seems that I can't get it working right no matter what, so I've decided to add my code; I'd much appreciate if someone could take a look at it and tell me what changes are needed in order to translate/rotate/translate back.

In openGL, glRotation fuction takes origin as a reference. In order to rotate around a point (your camera coordinate in this case) you should translate your camera position to the origin (Translate all your objects accordingly) and then apply rotation function.And then you can translate your camera back (with all your objects)
lets say your camera position is (a,b,c) so your code should be something like :
foreach object
{
glPushMatrix();
glTranslate(a,b,c);
glRotate(...);
glTranslate(-a,-b,-c);
//render
glPopMatrix();
}

OpenGL with two loops, one loop is not working

My OpenGL program is not working properly. Inside the drawScene() function I created two loops. One loop for GL_LINES another loop for GL_POINTS. The GL_LINES loop works fine but GL_POINTS loop doesn't work. Any help appreciated.

Right now, you're declaring the variable r in two places: where you set double r = 0.5; and at double r = 1.0;
Try changing it to:
double r = 0.5;
//First loop
r = 1.0;
//Second loop

I'm beginner with OpenGL and now i'm starting to learn,
Can someone please explain me why i don't get the circle (i only see the black box),
Thanks!
It looks like immediately after you draw the circle, you go into the main glut loop, where you've set the Draw() function to draw every time through the loop. So it's probably drawing the circle, then erasing it immediately and drawing the square. You should probably either make DrawCircle() your glutDisplayFunc(), or call DrawCircle() from Draw().

This is what I did. I hope this helps. Two types of circle are here. Filled and unfilled.
There is another way to draw a circle - draw it in fragment shader.
Create a quad:
float right = 0.5;
float bottom = -0.5;
float left = -0.5;
float top = 0.5;
float quad[20] = {
//x, y, z, lx, ly
right, bottom, 0, 1.0, -1.0,
right, top, 0, 1.0, 1.0,
left, top, 0, -1.0, 1.0,
left, bottom, 0, -1.0, -1.0,
};
Bind VBO:
unsigned int glBuffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &glBuffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, glBuffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(float)*20, quad, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
and draw:
#define BUFFER_OFFSET(i) ((char *)NULL + (i))
glEnableVertexAttribArray(ATTRIB_VERTEX);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(ATTRIB_VALUE);
glVertexAttribPointer(ATTRIB_VERTEX , 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 20, 0);
glVertexAttribPointer(ATTRIB_VALUE , 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 20, BUFFER_OFFSET(12));
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, 4);
Vertex shader
attribute vec2 value;
uniform mat4 viewMatrix;
uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;
varying vec2 val;
void main() {
val = value;
gl_Position = projectionMatrix*viewMatrix*vertex;
}
Fragment shader
varying vec2 val;
void main() {
float R = 1.0;
float R2 = 0.5;
float dist = sqrt(dot(val,val));
if (dist >= R || dist <= R2) {
discard;
}
float sm = smoothstep(R,R-0.01,dist);
float sm2 = smoothstep(R2,R2+0.01,dist);
float alpha = sm*sm2;
gl_FragColor = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, alpha);
}
Don't forget to enable alpha blending:
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

We will find the value of X and Y from this image. We know, sinθ=vertical/hypotenuse and cosθ=base/hypotenuse from the image we can say X=base and Y=vertical. Now we can write X=hypotenuse * cosθ and Y=hypotenuse * sinθ.
Now look at this code
void display(){
float x,y;
glColor3f(1, 1, 0);
for(double i =0; i <= 360;){
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
x=5*cos(i);
y=5*sin(i);
glVertex2d(x, y);
i=i+.5;
x=5*cos(i);
y=5*sin(i);
glVertex2d(x, y);
glVertex2d(0, 0);
glEnd();
i=i+.5;
}
glEnd();
glutSwapBuffers();
}
glBegin(GL_POLYGON); // Middle circle
double radius = 0.2;
double ori_x = 0.0; // the origin or center of circle
double ori_y = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i <= 300; i++) {
double angle = 2 * PI * i / 300;
double x = cos(angle) * radius;
double y = sin(angle) * radius;
glVertex2d(ori_x + x, ori_y + y);
}
glEnd();
Here is a code to draw a fill elipse, you can use the same method but replacing de xcenter and y center with radius
void drawFilledelipse(GLfloat x, GLfloat y, GLfloat xcenter,GLfloat ycenter) {
int i;
int triangleAmount = 20; //# of triangles used to draw circle
//GLfloat radius = 0.8f; //radius
GLfloat twicePi = 2.0f * PI;
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN);
glVertex2f(x, y); // center of circle
for (i = 0; i <= triangleAmount; i++) {
glVertex2f(
x + ((xcenter+1)* cos(i * twicePi / triangleAmount)),
y + ((ycenter-1)* sin(i * twicePi / triangleAmount))
);
}
glEnd();
}
I have done it using the following code,
glBegin(GL.GL_LINE_LOOP);
for(int i =0; i <= 300; i++){
double angle = 2 * Math.PI * i / 300;
double x = Math.cos(angle);
double y = Math.sin(angle);
gl.glVertex2d(x,y);
}
glEnd();
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
double x = 2;
double y = 2;
for (int i = 0; i <= 360; i++) {
glVertex2d(x * sin(i), y * cos(i));
}
glEnd();
