openGL

Dear friends on this platform we will discuss and help each other to learn computer graphics theory and programming.
Now days all graphics programmer prefer openGL for the development, So lets understand basics of openGL

openGL
openGL stands for open_Graphics_Lybrary.

It is standard API for developing graphical User interface, Computer aided designs, animations, simulations and art and commerce (ie attractive message with pictures).

It has large number of built in capabilities for pixel operation and various graphical effects for developing the applications.

GL (graphics Libraries) are used to include definitions of some predefine functions used for 2D or 3D drawings ......#include <GL/gl.h>

GLU ( graphics Libraries Utilities) are used to include definitions of some predefine functions used for camera settings and shape descriptions........#include<GL/glu.h>

GLUT (GL Utility Toolkit): This toolkit has numerous utility functions, mostly dealing with user interface. It handles system dependent actions which are required to display a window.

Guys share your comments and suggestions to make this platform more user friendly and to make Computer Graphics easy and enjoyable for  learners.

Installation steps for openGL on ubuntu

 GLUT it is open GL_U tility _T oolkit for openGL programming we need to install glut (pronounce as glat). Following are the steps to install GLUT on Ubuntu operating system. Step 1: sudo apt-get update               For updation of basic packages Step 2: sudo apt-get install build-essential               For installing essential packages. Step 3: sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev               // its GL utility toolkit Step 4: sudo apt-get install binutils-gold             It is GNU gold linker utility.  Gold is a new linker, which is faster than the current linker included in binutils Step 5: sudo apt-get install g++ cmake         its a  Command-Line Reference.Users build a project b...

Second Assignment DDA algorithm for line drawing using Mouse

Image
Draw the polygons by using the mouse. Choose colors by clicking on the designed color pane. Use window port to draw. (Use DDA algorithm for line drawing) #include<string.h> #include<GL/glut.h> #define ROUND(x)((int)(x+0.5)) struct Point { GLint x; GLint y; }; struct Color { GLfloat r; GLfloat g; GLfloat b; }; Color getPixelColor(GLint x, GLint y)  //Fun for getting color of pixel {  Color color; glReadPixels(x,y,1,1,GL_RGB, GL_FLOAT, &color); return color; } void setPixelColor(GLint x, GLint y, Color color)   //set color of pixel {    glColor3f(color.r, color.g, color.b); glBegin(GL_POINTS); glVertex2i(x,y); glEnd(); glFlush(); } void floodFill(GLint x, GLint y, Color oldColor, Color newColor)//seed fill algorithm { Color color; color= getPixelColor(x,y); if(color.r == oldColor.r && color.g == oldColor.g && color.b == oldColor.b) { setPixelColor(x,y, newColor); floodFill(x+1,y, oldColor, newColor); floodFill(x,y+1, oldCol...
