changing color glutWireSphere in animation in OpenGL - opengl

i want to change a wireSphere during an animation with openGL.
But it won´t work.
What must i do that it changes a color during an animation?
So far i only have this :
glColor3f(1.0,1.0,0.0); //yellow color
glutWireSphere(0.5,60,50);

Works for me. Here's a minimal GLUT program that uses your code, and successfully displays a yellow sphere on my Mac:
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
static void display()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glutWireSphere(0.5f, 50, 60);
glutSwapBuffers();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DEPTH);
glutCreateWindow("WireSphere");
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
I suspect that there's some state you're setting outside the code you copied that prevents this from working for you. But it's hard to speculate what that could be. I think you'll need to post more code, or at least be more specific about the unexpected behavior than "it won't work".

How to set background color in OpenGL

The background color of my scene is black. How can I change this color?
Looks like I'm doing something wrong because glClearColor() function is not working: I tried to change the values but nothing happened. I'm new to OpenGL and programming in general.
#include <GL/glut.h>
void Ayarlar(void);
void CizimFonksiyonu(void);
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowPosition(200, 200);
glutInitWindowSize(400, 400);
glutCreateWindow("ilk OpenGL programim");
glutDisplayFunc(CizimFonksiyonu);
glutMainLoop();
Ayarlar();
return 0;
}
void Ayarlar(void) {
glClearColor(1 ,0 ,0 , 1);
glShadeModel(GLU_FLAT);
}
void CizimFonksiyonu(void) {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glFlush();
}
Ayarlar() has to be called be for glutMainLoop(). glutMainLoop enters the GLUT event processing loop and never returns. You have to set the OpenGL states before.
glutDisplayFunc(CizimFonksiyonu);
Ayarlar();
glutMainLoop();

Declaration of std::string causes a segmentation fault with OpenGL

Consider a very simple OpenGL program:
#include <GL/glut.h>
static void RenderScene()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glutSwapBuffers();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA);
glutInitWindowSize(500, 500);
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL Test");
glutDisplayFunc(RenderScene);
glClearColor(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f, 0.0f);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
This compiles and runs fine, displaying a grey window as expected.
Then, I introduce three variables into the main function, before the OpenGL processing. The code becomes:
#include <string>
#include <GL/glut.h>
static void RenderScene()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glutSwapBuffers();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int x = 5;
char y = 'a';
std::string z = "abc";
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA);
glutInitWindowSize(500, 500);
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL Test");
glutDisplayFunc(RenderScene);
glClearColor(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f, 0.0f);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
Compiling this is fine, but if I run it, I receive a segmentation fault error. Now, if I comment out the line std::string z = "abc";, then it runs fine without any errors.
So, for some reason, declaring a string variable is causing a segmentation fault here, but not with any other variable types.
If I remove all the OpenGL code, then it runs fine. But if I remove all the OpenGL code except for just one line, such as glutInit(&argc, argv);, then it still causes the segmentation fault.
Any ideas on what is going on?
I'm having similar problem too, but mine was on Linux. Is your on Linux or Windows? Do you have any graphic card driver install?
For my case, I'm running on Ubuntu with nVidia installed, I notice that when I link my program with libGL.so located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, it will cause segmentation fault. Then I also found out there is another libGL.so located at /usr/lib/nvidia-352, this will link without crash.
Hope this help.

open gl basic program error?

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<windows.h>
#include<GL/glut.h>
void display (void)
{
glClearColor(1.f, 0.f, 0.f, 1.f);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE);
glutInitWindowSize(500,500);
glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);
glutCreateWindow("Colorcube Viewer");
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
i am not able to figure out whats the problem with this code ?
it does not give me a red window.
You need to call glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); after setting the clear color (because you have depth test enabled, make sure that you're clearing both the color buffer AND the depth buffer

Getting started with OpenGL in C++

I have attempted to start programming with OpenGl using this tutorial, and have the following code so far:
#include <gl/glut.h> // Include the GLUT header file
void display (void)
{
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv); // Initialize GLUT
// Set up a basic display buffer (only single buffered for now)
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE);
glutInitWindowSize (500, 500); // Set the width and height of the window
glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100); // Set the position of the window
// Set the title for the window
glutCreateWindow("Your first OpenGL Window!");
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutMainLoop();
glClearColor(1.f, 0.f, 0.f, 1.f); // Clear the background of our window to red
return 0;
}
I build and run the project in Eclipse, it compiles all fine, but nothing happens (no windows pop up or anything). Can anybody tell me what I could be doing wrong?
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE);
You also need to define the kind of framebuffer format you want, i.e. add a GLUT_RGBA, at least (and you probably also want a depth buffer). And there are only few cases where one not wants a double buffer. So: glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_DOUBLE);
Then your display function will not be called, unless you add a glutDisplayFunc(display); after glutCreateWindow.
glutMainLoop();
glClearColor(1.f, 0.f, 0.f, 1.f);
glutMainLoop does not return. And even if it did, glClearColor had no effect at that place in the program.

GlutSolidSphere not solid

Hi my program is supposed to display a solid red colored sphere in the center of the screen, all i am getting is the boundary of the sphere :
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE|GLUT_RGBA);
glutInitWindowSize(800,600);
glutInitWindowPosition(0,0);
glutCreateWindow("Sphere");
glutDisplayFunc(renderScene);
glutReshapeFunc(changeSize);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
void renderScene() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glutSolidSphere(2.5, 50, 40);
glutSwapBuffers();
}
Try adding glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL); before your glutSolidSphere(2.5, 50, 40);
What do you mean "boundary"?
Solid doesn't mean filled, it means the surface contains no openings. This is in contrast to glutWireSphere, which is just the wire frame.
