OK, I have made simple rectangular using OpenGL, and it looks pretty simple
glNormal3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(-0.0, 2.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 2.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
and small as well. So my Q. is how can I make this twice as bigger using one single line of code or how can I make lets say only X axis values to be doubled. I know it's possible, but I have no idea what function to search for. Thanks in advance.
Well, you can move the camera closer by using glTranslate or scale the scene using glScale. But frankly?
x *= 2.0;
y *= 2.0;
glVertex3f(-0.0, y*2.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(x*1.0, y*2.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(x*1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
... this is the way to go.

I'm writing an OpenGl program about a cone rotating in 3D space and I have a txt with datas of the angles and the axes around whom the rotation takes place.
The problem is that OpenGL requires the total rotation angle while in the file I have the increment in angle for every time step.
here my code :
GLdouble matrice1 [] {1.,0,0,0,0,1.,0,0,0,0,1.,0,0,0,0,1.};
GLdouble * matrice = matrice1;
void displayCone(void){
// clear the drawing buffer.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); //
// set matrix mode
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
// clear model view matrix
glLoadIdentity();
//gluLookAt(3.0, 3.0, 3.0-4.5, 0.0, 0.0,-4.5,0,0,1);
gluLookAt(3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 0.0, 0.0,0.0,0,0,1);
glBegin(GL_LINES);
glColor3f (1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(2.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glColor3f (0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 2.0, 0.0);
glColor3f (0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 2.0);
glEnd();
//glLoadMatrixd(matrice);
glColor3f(0.8, 0.2, 0.1);
glMultMatrixd(matrice); // <------ ** me trying to implement the previous rotation before //rotating of the increment angle xRotated
glRotated(xRotated,a1,a2,a3); // <----- **here the rotation**
glGetDoublev(GL_MODELVIEW, matrice); // <----- ** me trying to save the total rotation //matrix **
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, height);
glutSolidCone(base,height,slices,stacks);
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, height-0.1);
glutSolidCylinder(0.07,height_c,slices,stacks);
glPopMatrix();
glPushMatrix();
glScalef(1.0,1.0,-1.0);
//glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, 2*height);
//glPopMatrix();
//glPushMatrix();
glutSolidCone(base,height,slices,stacks);
// Flush buffers to screen
glPopMatrix();
glFlush();
}
What I'm trying to do here with glGetDoublevand glMultMatrixdis to save the precedent Rotation Angle but this doesn't work. Does anyone know how to save the precedent rotation matrix in order to get the total rotation and not the RotationAngle of the increment angle ?
For one, that code you have there is using the old and busted fixed function, legacy API that's been out of fashion for well over 15 years.
More to the point, you can use a proper 3D graphics math library (GLM, Eigen, linmath.h) to manage a rotation matrix and apply it to the OpenGL transformation matrix stack using glMultMatrix instead of using multiple calls to glRotate. Or manage the whole transformation matrix yourself and just load it with glLoadMatrix.
And when you do your own matrix management, it's only a small step to ditch the fixed function pipeline and use shaders, where you pass the matrix as so called uniform values.
I'm facing a problem in my opengl code
I'm trying to build a house, and rotate it 360°, for simplicity let's assume the house has the front wall with window and dor, and a back wall.
I'm using DEPTH_BUFFER not to see the back wall when viewing the front wall, and the other way around, but when I rotate the house the door and window start to shake and get distorced.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glLoadIdentity();
gluLookAt(0.0, 0.0, 40.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glRotatef(angle, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex3f(8.0, 3.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(8.0, -10.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, -10.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 3.0, 0.0);
glEnd();

glVertex3f(-9.0, 3.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(-2.0, 3.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(-2.0, -4.0, 0.0);
glEnd();
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex3f(10.0, -10.0, -20.0);
glVertex3f(-10.0, -10.0, -20.0);
glVertex3f(-10.0, 10.0, -20.0);
glVertex3f(10.0, 10.0, -20.0);
glEnd();
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex3f(10.0, -10.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(10.0, 10.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(-10.0, 10.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(-10.0, -10.0, 0.0);
glEnd();
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glutSwapBuffers();
The issue is called Z-fighting. This is caused, because depth of the "door", "window" and "wall" are equal. The vertiex coordinates are transformed by the model view matrix and projection matrix and interpolated for each fragment which is covered by the polygon. This results in inaccuracies of the final z coordinate (depth).
Enable the polygon fill offset (glPolygonOffset) by before drawing the walls, to solve the issue:
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDisable( GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL );
// draw door and window
// ...
glEnable( GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL );
glPolygonOffset( 1, 1 );
// draw walls
// ...
Polygon fill offset manipulates the depth of a fragment by a minimum amount. This causes that the depth of the "walls" is different to the depth of the "window" and "door", even after the transformation by the model view and projection matrix.
Since an offset is added to the depth of the "wall", the "wall" is always behind the window and the door, independent of the point of view.
To be short, why couldn't I put two glBindTexture into one glBegin(GL_QUADS)...glEnd()?
I am following chapter 9 of OpenGL red book, http://www.glprogramming.com/red/chapter09.html
In example 9-5, program texbind.c produces two quads with different texture, like this:
The quad on the left has a white checker board texture while the quad on the right has a red one.
Here is the code which maps the textures to two quads:
void display(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName[0]);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(-2.0, -1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(-2.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(0.0, -1.0, 0.0);
glEnd();
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName[1]);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(1.0, -1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(2.41421, 1.0, -1.41421);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(2.41421, -1.0, -1.41421);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
We can see that even though the code uses GL_QUADS it draws one quad in each GL_QUADS state. However, if I comment out the glEnd() and glBegin(GL_QUADS) in the middle of this code, like this:
void display(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName[0]);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(-2.0, -1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(-2.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(0.0, -1.0, 0.0);
// glEnd();
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName[1]);
// glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(1.0, -1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(0.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0); glVertex3f(2.41421, 1.0, -1.41421);
glTexCoord2f(1.0, 0.0); glVertex3f(2.41421, -1.0, -1.41421);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
It turns out the second glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName1) does not work anymore. And the result is:
Could anyone tell me why I cannot put two glBindTexture into one GL_QUADS state?
Because OpenGL doesn't support doing that.
The only calls you can make to OpenGL while inside glBegin/glEnd are vertex submission calls like glTexCoord*, glVertex*, etc. Anything else is an error.
As to "why", one reason is "because the specification says so". More likely, the GPU processes the entire data set (or significant chunks of it) in parallel, during which it cannot switch textures.
Also consider the newer way of drawing with OpenGL: uploading your data to a Vertex Buffer Object and calling one of the glDraw* commands. There's no way you can even call glBindTexture in between primitives using that.
I am making an apartment with C++ and openGl. I have made basic walls, roof and floor by just declaring points in the drawing function and everything of course works but code is messy and adding furniture this way would of course be very painful. So I am asking how should I organize my objects and format drawing function?
Here's the current code:
// Floor and roof of room 1
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glNormal3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glColor3f(0.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glNormal3f(0.0, -1.0, 0.0);
glColor3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glEnd();
// Walls
glBegin(GL_QUAD_STRIP);
glNormal3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0,0.0,1.0);
glVertex3f(0.0,1.0,1.0);
glNormal3f(0.0, 0.0, -1.0);
glColor3f(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glNormal3f(-1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glColor3f(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
glVertex3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glEnd();
And so on for room 2 and door spots..
Any places to read about this subject?
You can use 3d modelling software, e.g. →Blender to define your geometry etc. Then I recommend to use →Assimp to load the exported model. Also recommend to avoid the old fixed-function pipeline – write your own little scenegraph engine and manage your matrices and 3d math with →GLM
The following snippet draws a gray square.
glColor3b(50, 50, 50);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex3f(-1.0, +1.0, 0.0); // top left
glVertex3f(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0); // bottom left
glVertex3f(+1.0, -1.0, 0.0); // bottom right
glVertex3f(+1.0, +1.0, 0.0); // top right
glEnd();
In my application, behind this single square exists a colored cube.
What function should I use to make square (and only this square) opaque?
In the init function, use these two lines:
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
And in your render function, ensure that glColor4f is used instead of glColor3f, and set the 4th argument to the level of opacity required.
glColor4f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex3f(-1.0, +1.0, 0.0); // top left
glVertex3f(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0); // bottom left
glVertex3f(+1.0, -1.0, 0.0); // bottom right
glVertex3f(+1.0, +1.0, 0.0); // top right
glEnd();
glColor4f(float r,float g, float b, flaot alpha);
(in your case maybe clColor4b)
also make sure, that blending is enabled.
(you have to reset the color to non-alpha afterwads, which might involve a glGet* to save the old vertexcolor)
You can set colors per vertex
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glColor4f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5); // red, 50% alpha
glVertex3f(-1.0, +1.0, 0.0); // top left
// Make sure to set the color back since the color state persists
glVertex3f(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0); // bottom left
glVertex3f(+1.0, -1.0, 0.0); // bottom right
glVertex3f(+1.0, +1.0, 0.0); // top right
glEnd();
Use glColor4 instead of glColor3. For example:
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE);
glColor4f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,0.5f);
