Visualization Issue in OpenGL (glOrtho & projection) - c++

Question

I don't know if I did something wrong in my functions (maybe wrong parameters to glOrtho) and so the result is just wrong or if it's all normal as it would be.
In particular I have this situation:
I would like to have the green rect and all its inner content to take all the space of the window and not just a part of it (if you notice there are some empty spaces all around the main content: "the green rect").
Here there are my main functions:
#define HEXAGONAL_SHRINK 0.8655f
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480);
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100);
glutCreateWindow(argv[0]);
glClearColor (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glShadeModel (GL_FLAT);
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutReshapeFunc(reshape);
glutMouseFunc(mouse);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
void reshape(int w, int h)
{
GLfloat aspect, dim;
glViewport (0, 0, (GLsizei) w, (GLsizei) h);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
if (s3hex->rows > s3hex->columns)
dim = s3hex->rows * 0.5f;
else
dim = s3hex->columns * 0.5f;
aspect = (GLfloat)w / (GLfloat)h;
if (w <= h)
glOrtho (-dim, dim, -dim/aspect, dim/aspect, 1.0, -1.0);
else
glOrtho (-dim*aspect, dim*aspect, -dim, dim, 1.0, -1.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
}
void display(void)
{
CALint i, j;
CALreal z, h, color;
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(-(s3hex->columns*HEXAGONAL_SHRINK)/2.0f, s3hex->rows/2.0f, 0);
glScalef(HEXAGONAL_SHRINK, -1, 1);
for (i=0; i<s3hex->rows; i++)
for (j=0; j<s3hex->columns; j++)
{
z = calGet2Dr(s3hex,Q.z,i,j);
h = calGet2Dr(s3hex,Q.h,i,j);
if (h > 0)
{
color = (h - h_min) / (h_Max - h_min);
glColor3d(1,color,0);
glRecti(j, i, j+1, i+1);
}
else
if (z > 0)
{
color = (z - z_min) / (z_Max - z_min);
glColor3d(color,color,color);
glRecti(j, i, j+1, i+1);
}
}
glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE);
glColor3d(0,1,0);
glRectd(0,0,s3hex->columns, s3hex->rows);
glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL);
glPopMatrix();
glutSwapBuffers();
}
P.S: If you need to know what's s3hex is, then you can see it as a normal matrix in which every cell contains a set of substates. Then in according to the value of these substates I set the colors for the rendering in the display func.

Everything seems normal to me.
Nothing guaranties that s3hex->columns and s3hex->rows will match your viewport size.
What you can do is to scale up the modelview to make the drawing fill your viewport.
Something along the lines of:
glScalef(viewportWidth / s3hex->columns, viewportHeight / s3hex->rows, 1);
Don't do this if s3hex->columns or s3hex->rows is zero.
