I'm working to draw something like this: http://i.imgur.com/JJpbJ7M.png
I don't need the whole thing, I just want to be able to draw two shapes where I want them to be. However, this isn't working, can anyone point me into the right direction?

Answer 1

You almost had it.
Draw your shape(s) in render(), not main():
#include <GL/glut.h>
void drawline(float from_x, float from_y, float to_x, float to_y)
{
// From coordinate position
glVertex2f(from_x, from_y);
// To coordinate position
glVertex2f(to_x, to_y);
}
void drawShape()
{
glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0); // Color (RGB): Yellow
glLineWidth(2.0); // Set line width to 2.0
// Draw line
glBegin(GL_LINES);
drawline(0.25, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5);
drawline(0.4, 0.6, 0.4, 0.5);
drawline(0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.5);
drawline(0.6, 0.5, 0.75, 0.5);
glEnd();
// Draw triangle
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glVertex2f(0.4, 0.5);
glVertex2f(0.6, 0.6);
glVertex2f(0.6, 0.4);
glEnd();
}
void render(void)
{
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho( 0.0, 4.0, 0.0, 4.0, -1, 1 );
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
// Draw shape one
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(1.5, 1.5, 0.0);
drawShape();
glPopMatrix();
// Draw shape two
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(2.5, 2.5, 0.0);
drawShape();
glPopMatrix();
glutSwapBuffers();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE);
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480);
glutCreateWindow("My OpenGL program");
glutDisplayFunc(render);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
I removed reshape() and init() since the default glutReshapeFunc() already calls glViewport() and you should be resetting your projection and modelview matrices each frame anyway.
