Introduction To OpenGL Programming

This document provides an introduction and overview of OpenGL including: - The hierarchy of abstraction levels in OpenGL from lowest level GL to higher level GLU and GLUT. - That OpenGL is an API and how it is implemented on different platforms. - The basic steps a programmer needs to take including specifying geometry, camera, and lights. - An overview of geometric primitives, specifying vertices, and color commands in OpenGL.

IntroductiontoOpenGL Programming

OpenGLHierarchy
Severallevelsofabstractionareprovided GL
Lowestlevel:vertex,matrixmanipulation glVertex3f(point.x,point.y,point.z)

GLU
Helperfunctionsforshapes,transformations gluPerspective(fovy,aspect,near,far)

GLUT
Highestlevel:Windowandinterfacemanagement glutSwapBuffers()

OpenGLImplementations
OpenGLISanAPI
#include<GL/gl.h> #include<GL/glu.h> #include<GL/glut.h>

Windows,Linux,UNIX,etc.allprovideaplatform specific implementation. Windows:opengl32.libglu32.libglut32.lib Linux:lGLlGLUlGLUT

OpenGLAPI
Asaprogrammer,youneedtodothe followingthings:
Specifythelocation/parametersofcamera. Specifythegeometry(andappearance). Specifythelights(optional).

OpenGLGeometricPrimitives
GL_LINES GL_POLYGON GL_POINTS GL_LINE_STRIP GL_LINE_LOOP

GL_TRIANGLES GL_QUADS GL_QUAD_STRIP GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP GL_TRIANGLE_FAN

SpecifyingGeometricPrimitives
Primitivesarespecifiedusing
glBegin(primType); ... glEnd();

primType determineshowverticesarecombined
GLfloat red, green, blue; GLfloat x, y; glBegin(primType); for (i = 0; i < nVerts; i++) { glColor3f(red, green, blue); glVertex2f(x, y); ... // change coord. values } glEnd();

OpenGLVertex/Color CommandFormats
glVertex3fv( v ) glColor3fv( v )

Number of components
2 - (x,y) 3 - (x,y,z), (r,g,b) 4 - (x,y,z,w), (r,g,b,a)

Data Type
b ub s us i ui f d byte unsigned byte short unsigned short int unsigned int float double

Vector
omit v for scalar form e.g., glVertex2f(x, y) glColor3f(r, g, b) Example

OpenGL:Camera
Twothingstospecify:
Physicallocationofcamerainthescene(MODELVIEW matrixinOpenGL).

Projectionpropertiesofthecamera(PROJECTIONmatrixin OpenGL):

OpenGL:MODELVIEW
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);//Specifymatrixmode glLoadIdentity();//Clearmodelviewmatrix //UtilityfunctionprovidedbytheGLUAPI(includedwithOpenGL) gluLookAt(eyex,eyey,eyez,centerx,centery,centerz,upx,upy,upz);

Sampleprogram
void main( int argc, char** argv ) { int mode = GLUT_RGB|GLUT_DOUBLE; glutInitDisplayMode( mode ); glutCreateWindow( argv[0] ); init(); glutDisplayFunc( display ); glutReshapeFunc( resize ); glutKeyboardFunc( key ); glutIdleFunc( idle ); glutMainLoop(); }

OpenGLInitialization
Setupwhateverstateyouregoingtouse
void init( void ) { glClearColor( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); glClearDepth( 1.0 ); glEnable( GL_LIGHT0 ); glEnable( GL_LIGHTING ); glEnable( GL_DEPTH_TEST ); }

Reshape
voidreshape(int w,int h) { /*ThisroutineiscalledwhentheinitialGLwindowiscreated andwhenthewindowisresized.Itisfollowedinexecution bythe'display'routine.*/ /*initializeviewingvalues*/ glViewport (0,0,(GLint)w 1,(GLint)h 1); glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity (); glOrtho (0.0,(GLdouble)w,0.0,(GLdouble)h,1.0,1.0); }

Keyboard

glutKeyboardFunc( keyboard );
void keyboard( unsigned char key, int x, int y ) { switch( key ) { case q : case Q : exit( EXIT_SUCCESS ); break; case r : case R : rotate = GL_TRUE; glutPostRedisplay(); break; } }

Mouse
