OpenGL?

[Swos2009]

I did love learn OpenGl but one things put me off is that there is no Documents or Example or Tutorials for OpenGL.

If you outline what you wish to do, somebody on this forum should be able to help you. If you search the forum, there are a number of posts about OpenGL.

What exactly is your 'coding question'?

What exactly is your 'coding question'?

I want to learn more about OpenGL as I love the rotation of 3D which make look so easy instead of coding lots of Maths to do it!


I start move round the triangles but why it is slow?

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit
Global RollAxisX.f
Global RollAxisY.f
Global RollAxisZ.f

Global RotateSpeedX.f = 2 ; The speed of the rotation For the 3 axis
Global RotateSpeedY.f = 2
Global RotateSpeedZ.f = 2

OpenWindow(0, 270, 100, 640, 480, "Cross-platform OpenGL demo")
SetWindowColor(0, 0)
OpenGLGadget(0, 0, 0, WindowWidth(0) , WindowHeight(0))

Repeat
  glViewport_(0, 0, WindowWidth(0), WindowHeight(0))
  glMatrixMode_(#GL_PROJECTION)
  glLoadIdentity_()
  gluPerspective_(30.0, Abs(WindowWidth(0) / WindowHeight(0)), 0.1, 500.0)
  glMatrixMode_(#GL_MODELVIEW)
  glLoadIdentity_()
  glClear_(#GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | #GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
  glLoadIdentity_()
  glTranslatef_(0.0, 0.0, -8.0)
  glColor3f_(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
  
  glRotatef_ (RollAxisX, 1.0, 0, 0) ; rotate around X axis
  glRotatef_ (RollAxisY, 0, 1.0, 0) ; rotate around Y axis
  glRotatef_ (RollAxisZ, 0, 0, 1.0) ; rotate around Z axis
 
  RollAxisX + RotateSpeedX 
  RollAxisY + RotateSpeedY 
  RollAxisZ + RotateSpeedZ 

  glBegin_(#GL_TRIANGLES)      ; Start drawing a triangle
  glColor3f_ ( 1.0,  0.0, 0.0) ; Set top point of triangle to Red
  glVertex3f_( 0.0,  1.0, 0.0) ; First point of the triangle
  glColor3f_ ( 0.0,  1.0, 0.0) ; Set left point of triangle to Green
  glVertex3f_(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0) ; Second point of the triangle
  glColor3f_ ( 0.0,  0.0, 1.0) ; Set right point of triangle to Blue
  glVertex3f_( 1.0, -1.0, 0.0) ; Third point of the triangle
  glEnd_()                     ; Done drawing the triangle
 
  SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_OpenGL_FlipBuffers, #True)
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Hi,

you simply draw it only when an event happen.
So move always your mouse, or ... (possible without code change )
remove the Wait from WaitWindowEvent(), or ... (easiest way for your code)
create a thread, or ...
use a timer. (demonstrated below)

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit
Global RollAxisX.f
Global RollAxisY.f
Global RollAxisZ.f

Global RotateSpeedX.f = 2 ; The speed of the rotation For the 3 axis
Global RotateSpeedY.f = 2
Global RotateSpeedZ.f = 2

Procedure Draw()
  glViewport_(0, 0, WindowWidth(0), WindowHeight(0))
  glMatrixMode_(#GL_PROJECTION)
  glLoadIdentity_()
  gluPerspective_(30.0, Abs(WindowWidth(0) / WindowHeight(0)), 0.1, 500.0)
  glMatrixMode_(#GL_MODELVIEW)
  glLoadIdentity_()
  glClear_(#GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | #GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
  glLoadIdentity_()
  glTranslatef_(0.0, 0.0, -8.0)
  glColor3f_(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
 
  glRotatef_ (RollAxisX, 1.0, 0, 0) ; rotate around X axis
  glRotatef_ (RollAxisY, 0, 1.0, 0) ; rotate around Y axis
  glRotatef_ (RollAxisZ, 0, 0, 1.0) ; rotate around Z axis
 
  RollAxisX + RotateSpeedX
  RollAxisY + RotateSpeedY
  RollAxisZ + RotateSpeedZ

  glBegin_(#GL_TRIANGLES)      ; Start drawing a triangle
  glColor3f_ ( 1.0,  0.0, 0.0) ; Set top point of triangle to Red
  glVertex3f_( 0.0,  1.0, 0.0) ; First point of the triangle
  glColor3f_ ( 0.0,  1.0, 0.0) ; Set left point of triangle to Green
  glVertex3f_(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0) ; Second point of the triangle
  glColor3f_ ( 0.0,  0.0, 1.0) ; Set right point of triangle to Blue
  glVertex3f_( 1.0, -1.0, 0.0) ; Third point of the triangle
  glEnd_()                     ; Done drawing the triangle
 
  SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_OpenGL_FlipBuffers, #True)
EndProcedure


Define Event.i

OpenWindow(0, 270, 100, 640, 480, "Cross-platform OpenGL demo")
SetWindowColor(0, 0)
OpenGLGadget(0, 0, 0, WindowWidth(0) , WindowHeight(0))

AddWindowTimer(0, 1, 25)

Repeat
  
  Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  If Event = #PB_Event_Timer
    If EventTimer() = 1
      Draw()
    EndIf
  EndIf
  
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

thanks Bernd.

Timer is important to make things smooth

One things bugs me that I try do 3D Cubes by using glBegin(#GL_POLYGON) but I get the error saying it isnt functions....
