What OpenGL is NOT No commands for windowing No commands for obtaining user input No commands for anything except drawing on the screen 49/46 49 GLUT: OpenGL Utility Toolkit
Application Structure Configure and open window Initialize OpenGL state Register input callback functions render resize input: keyboard, mouse, etc. Enter event processing loop Sample Program void main( int argc, char* argv[]) {
glutInit (&argc, argv); glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB ); glutInitWindowSize (250, 250); glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100); glutCreateWindow ( "HELLO"); init(); glutDisplayFunc ( display ); glutMainLoop(); } /* OpenGL Initialization */ /* callback function */ GLUT Callback Functions
Routine to call when something happens window resized, user input, window needs drawing, etc Register callbacks with GLUT glutDisplayFunc( display ); glutKeyboardFunc( keyboard ); glutMouseFunc( mouse ); This specifies the function that needs to be called when the window is redrawn.
