Create rotating sphere with longitude lines c++ opengl - c++

I've started using OpenGL and I'm trying to create a wired sphere with colored longitude lines (like timezones) that rotates.
I'm trying to draw them using gluDisk-s and apply shifting in glRotatef func but I get following result (shown on images)
How can I fix it?
May be there is better way to do this?
The code I'm using:
void CreateDisk(int shift) {
quad = gluNewQuadric();
gluQuadricDrawStyle(quad, GLU_LINE);
glPushMatrix ();
glTranslatef (0., 0., 1.);
glRotatef(shift, 0, 1, 0);
glRotatef(count, 0, 1, 0);
gluDisk (quad, 0.5, .5, 50, 1);
glPopMatrix ();
}
void display() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(30, aspect, .5, 50);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); //select the modelview matrix.
glLoadIdentity ();
gluLookAt(0,0,4,
0,0,0,
0,1,0);
glPushMatrix();
glColor3f(1, 0, 1);
CreateDisk(20);
glColor3f(1, 0, 0);
CreateDisk(60);
glPopMatrix();
glutSwapBuffers();
}
Currently it's creating two disks, that's for testing.

Show glutSolidCone on its side

I am trying to look at a cone lying on its side from above. For this I wrote the following code:
void display(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(250, 250, 0);
glRotatef(90, 1, 0, 0);
glutSolidCone(20, 20, 20, 20);
glTranslatef(-250, -250, 0);
glRotatef(-90, 1, 0, 0);
glFlush();
glutSwapBuffers();
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
float x, y;
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH);
glutInitWindowSize(500, 500);
glutCreateWindow("Cone");
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutReshapeFunc(reshape);
glutKeyboardFunc(keyboard);
glutMotionFunc(drag);
glutMouseFunc(click);
glutSpecialFunc(catchKey);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
I translate to the middle of the screen and then rotate 90 degrees around the x-axis, which in my idea should produce the cone on its side. The result however is a not a cone but a line which is not tilted 90 but 45 degrees. What should I change in order for the cone to show up as I want it to?
Where is the projection matrix?
If you don't set a projection matrix, then the coordiantes have to be set in normalize device space. In NDC all the coordinates are in range [-1.0, 1.0]:
e.g.
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.5, 0.5, 0);
glRotatef(90, 1, 0, 0);
glutSolidCone(1.0, 1.0, 20, 20);
glTranslatef(-0.5, -0.5, 0);
glRotatef(-90, 1, 0, 0);
Alternatively you can setup an orthographic projection, which projects the world coordinates 1:1 to the window coordinates. The projection matrix can be set by glOrtho:
e.g.
void display(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, 500.0, 500.0, 0.0, -100.0, 100.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(250, 250, 0);
glRotatef(90, 1, 0, 0);
glutSolidCone(20, 20, 20, 20);
glTranslatef(-250, -250, 0);
glRotatef(-90, 1, 0, 0);
glFlush();
glutSwapBuffers();
}
The projection matrix describes the mapping from 3D points of the view on a scene, to 2D points on the viewport. At Orthographic Projection, the view space coordinates are linearly mapped to the clip space coordinates. The clip space coordinates are equal to the normalized device coordinates.
The normalized device coordinates are linearly mapped to the viewport rectangle.
The viewport rectangle can be defined by glViewport. Initially it is defined by the size of the window.
Note, that drawing by glBegin/glEnd sequences and the fixed function matrix stack is deprecated since decades. See Fixed Function Pipeline and Legacy OpenGL.
Read about Vertex Specification and Shader for a state of the art way of rendering.

Scaling 3D shapes (OpenGL and C++)

I've created a program in OpenGL that draws some shapes. I want the user to be able to zoom in on the shapes if they want to. This is the code that draws the shapes:
/*Initialise the required OpenGL functions*/
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, screenWidth, screenHeight, 0.0, -1.0, 10.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
/*Draw a square*/
glColor3f(1, 0, 0);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex2f(screenWidth * 0.75, screenHeight * 0.08333);
glVertex2f(screenWidth * 0.75, screenHeight * 0.16666);
glVertex2f(screenWidth * 0.86666, screenHeight * 0.16666);
glVertex2f(screenWidth * 0.86666, screenHeight * 0.08333);
glEnd();
glColor3f(0, 0, 0);
/*Let the user zoom*/
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP))
{
/*"zoom" is a global variable*/
zoom += 0.005;
}
glScaled(1 + zoom, 1 + zoom, 1);
/*Everything that is drawn from this point on (A sphere and a cube) should be scaled*/
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(-0.3, 0, 0);
glutSolidSphere(3, 20, 20);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.55, 0.36, 0);
glutSolidCube(0.05);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPopMatrix();
glutSwapBuffers();
The code draws the shapes properly, but the shapes can't be scaled. I've used similar code in some other functions, so I believe that it may be because I am using 3D shapes or it may have something to do with me calling "glMatrixMode" multiple times. Either way, how should I change my code so that the cube and sphere are scaled based on user input, but the first square is not affected?
glScaled() changes the current matrix. So as soon as you call glLoadIdentity() you are undoing your scaling. You are doing lots of unnecessary calls to glMatrixMode() and glLoadIdentity() that should be eliminated. So try something more like this:
// You probably don't really need to do these, but if you do, do it once up top.
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glPushMatrix(); // Save the current matrix
glScaled(1 + zoom, 1 + zoom, 1); // Scale it
/*Everything that is drawn from this point on (A sphere and a cube) should be scaled*/
glTranslatef(-0.3, 0, 0);
glutSolidSphere(3, 20, 20);
glTranslatef(0.55, 0.36, 0);
glutSolidCube(0.05);
glPopMatrix(); // Undo the glScaled() call above
glutSwapBuffers();

switching between 2D and 3D with Picking

So I'm trying to make a menu , and when I select an option I want it to draw the scene and to be able to pick from the scene in order to run the game. The game is checkers. I can do this without the 2D Menu, I perform the picking and the game is fine. But when I add the menu and try to switch between both, either I get no image (all black) or I set a perspective view and the Picking is no longer available in the same range.
to setup the 2D I make:
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0, 600, 600, 0, -1, 1);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glPushMatrix();
//draw 2D
to setup the 3D I use
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(45.0, (GLdouble)600/(GLdouble)600, 1.0, 200.0);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
//draw 3D
With this I'm no longer able to pick objects from the scene, but I can pass from 2D to 3D and watch the entire scene.
To perform the picking:
void PickInterface::performPicking(int x, int y) {
glSelectBuffer (BUFSIZE, selectBuf);
glRenderMode(GL_SELECT);
glInitNames();
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix ();
GLfloat projmat[16];
glGetFloatv(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX,projmat);
glLoadIdentity();
GLint viewport[4];
glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, viewport);
gluPickMatrix ((GLdouble) x, (GLdouble) (CGFapplication::height - y), 5.0, 5.0, viewport);
glMultMatrixf(projmat);
((PickScene*)scene)->selectMode=true;
scene->display();
((PickScene*)scene)->selectMode=false;
glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix ();
glFlush();
GLint hits;
hits = glRenderMode(GL_RENDER);
processHits(hits, selectBuf);
}

How to undo the effect of glTranslatef

Let's say that I want to translate a polygon.If before drawing it I use glTranslatef it gets translated, but if I want to draw two polygons and translate only one, how do I do?
#include <OpenGL/OpenGL.h>
#include <GLUT/GLUT.h>
#include "utility.h"
void init()
{
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(-1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1);
}
void render()
{
glClearColor(APPLE_GRAY);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glTranslatef(0.5, 0.0, 0.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glColor4f(RED);
glVertex2f(0,0.5);
glVertex2f(-0.5,-0.5);
glVertex2f(0.5, -0.5);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glColor4f(BLUE);
glVertex2f(0.5,0.5);
glVertex2f(-0.5,0.5);
glVertex2f(-0.5, -0.5);
glVertex2f(0.5, -0.5);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
I want to translate only the triangle, not the square.How to do that?
Before you translate, call:
glPushMatrix()
Then after drawing the first polygon, call:
glPopMatrix()
I've also noted you have no glEnd() call after your first polygon. Additionally, unless there is more code that's not listed, I notice that you don't switch from the modelview to the projection matrix when calling glOrtho(). This isn't strictly necessary if you are only using the modelview matrix for this example, but the traditional approach is to set up your projection like this:
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(-1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1);
Then, your render function sets up the modelview matrix for polygon rendering. Again, not a requirement and your example looks like it will do what you need since you are only using one matrix.

Opengl: 2d HUD over 3D

I have looked at some questions posted here on the matter and still cant work out why my 2d HUD appears but makes my 3d Rendered world disappear.
EDIT: It seems that the 2d scene is taking control of the entire screen so every now and then I can see the 3d scene glitching through the 2d scene. So even though I its only ment to be rendering a quad thats 10 x 10 pixels it renders this then blanks out the rest of the screen.
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(40.0,(GLdouble)x/(GLdouble)y,0.5,20.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glViewport(0,0,x,y);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0,-0.5,-6.0);
glPushMatrix();
..Draw some 3d stuff...
glPopMatrix();
// Start 2d
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0, -1, 1);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glColor3f(0.0f, 255.0f, 1.0f);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex2f(0.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(10.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(10.0, 10.0);
glVertex2f(0.0, 10.0);
glEnd();
Then I swap buffers
Here is the order of my code. Its like it makes the 3d space then makes the 2d space which in turn cancels out the 3d space.
Took a little while to figure it out, so just in case others have the same issues:
...After Drawing 3d Stuff...
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0.0, -1.0, 10.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
//glPushMatrix(); ----Not sure if I need this
glLoadIdentity();
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0);
glVertex2f(0.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(10.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(10.0, 10.0);
glVertex2f(0.0, 10.0);
glEnd();
// Making sure we can render 3d again
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
//glPopMatrix(); ----and this?
...Then swap buffers...
:)
If you're overlaying a 2D ortho projection over 3D, you generally want to get the depth buffer out of the equation:
glDepthMask(GL_FALSE); // disable writes to Z-Buffer
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); // disable depth-testing
Of course, you'll want to reset these to their original values before doing your next 3D pass.
glViewport(0, 0, x, y); //You need to do this only once on viewport resize
//Setup for 3D
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity;
gluPerspective(40.0, (GLdouble)x/(GLdouble)y, 0.5, 20.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity;
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT or GL_DEPTH_BIT);
// ... Render 3D ...
//Setup for 2D
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity;
glOrtho(0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0, -1, 1);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity;
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT or GL_DEPTH_BIT);
// ... Render 2D ...
SwapBuffers;
Note that there's no need to handle Push/Pop of matrixes if you render 2D completely on top of 3D.
