If I wanted to design an object in SolidWorks, and then output that object (I guess as a .stl file), is it possible to open that up and manipulate using openGL? How would I go about doing that?
View 1 RepliesI programming currently something with OpenGL. Now I have written some wrapper classes, like Shader, Program .... All works fine, but I don't like to call Shader.GetHandle() every time I want to call a OpenGL function manually where I need the object handle/id. (GetHandle() returns the OpenGL ID of the object)
So now I wonder, is it possible to program it in C++ so, that I can put my objects to gl methods and c++ automatically pass the handle/id member to that function ? Is there maybe a operator that I can use for that?
For example:
The way I do it now:
Shader vertexShader();
glCompileShader(vertexShader.GetHandle());
The way I want to:
Shader vertexShader;
glCompileShader(vertexShader);
Does the VAO (glGenVertexArrays/glBindVertexArray/glDeleteVertexArrays) store the enabled/disabled state for the Vertex Attributes (glEnableVertexAttribArray/glDisableVertexAttribArray) or should I re-enable them every time?

And these are always true:

In this assignment the student should develop a month calendar by designing a class called calendarType . This class uses two other classes (dateType and dayType) as described below:
1. dayType Class: This class has been designed by students in Lab1 exercises. Referee to it.
2. dateType Class: This class is designed and implemented to keep track of data. This class has been provided it to you. Study it first then add definitions and implementations of the following operations to this class:
- Test whether the year is a leap year. Leap year is identified by 3 criteria :
- The year is evenly divisible by 4;
- If the year can be evenly divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless;
- The year is also evenly divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year.
- Return the number of days in the month. For example, if the date is 12/3/2014, the number of days to be returned is 31 because there are 31 days in March.
- Return the number of days passed in the year. For example, if the date is 18/3/2014 the number of days passed is 77. Note that the number of days returned also includes the current day.
- Return the number of days remaining in the year. For example, if the date is
18/3/2014 , the number of days remaining in the year is 288.
- Calculate the new date by adding a fixed number of days to the date. For example, if the date is 18/3/2014 and the days to be added are 25, the new date is 12/4/2014.
To print monthly calendar using calendarType class, you must know the first day of the month and the number of the days in that month. Thus, you must store the first day of the month, which is in the form of dayType and the month and the year of the calendar. Clearly, the month and the year can be stored as an object of the form dateType by setting the day component of the date to 1, and the month and year as specified by user.
Design the class calendarType so that the program print a calendar for any month starting 1/1/ 1500 which is Monday. To calculate the first day of a month, you can add the 2 appropriate days to Monday of January 1, 1500. For this class identify and implement the following operations:
- Determine the first day of the month for which the calendar will be printed. Call this operation firstDayOfMonth.
- set/get month.
- set/get year.
- Print calendar for particular month.
- Add the appropriate constructors to initialize the member variables.
- Write a test program to print the calendar for either a particular year or a particular month.
How I can make 2D games in OpenGL. I have sprites, but when I load them in game, they're all big and stuff, not pixel for pixel how I'd like them. How can I do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've read up on .bmp files on wikipedia and am currently attempting to make a function that can export a .bmp file of the screen of my programs. I've already begun work on it but it isn't working. The code I have so far is:
typedef char Byte;
typedef int Byte4;
typedef short Byte2;
struct BMP_Header {
[Code] ....
My problems are that when less then the required amount of bytes is needed to store a value in the file, the 00 bytes are skipped (Ex. The file will contain 42 instead of 42 00 00 00), and the Pixels are stored as nothing but 0D ( every value intended for storing pixel data is 0D ).
I don't know why, but textures in OpenGL are white. One day, I must've change something, and now my textures wont load properly. I tried rewriting my code that loads things multiple times, my textures still are white. Here is my code:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm printing characters on a texture map using OpenGL and GLUT with C++. The problem is that when they appear on the map the x-coordinates are correct but the y-coordinates are upside down. The coordinates are being read from an input file and are in the form x,y with a semicolon separating each xy pair. I tried putting a negative sign in front of the y-coordinates to see if that would force the characters to go in the right place but that just made minus signs appear on the screen. Is there a function in OpenGL/GLUT that can invert coordinates by a certain value?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently made a heightmap, it uses a triangle strip /row, and I try to figure out how can i color the triangles one by one. So, for example I have a color array of 9:
[0.0f,0.2f,0.6f //a triangles first vertex
0.0f,0.4f,0.3f //second vertex
0.0f,0.7f,0.2f] //third vertex
And I want to use it to color all triangles with it. My heightmap coords are in a vector:
vector<GLfloat> hmapcrds [x1,h1,z1; x2,h2,z2;...]
Like this:
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 //row 1
c6 c7 c8 c9 c10 //row 2 coordinates
index array:c6->c1->c7->c2 ...cn->c(n-rwosize)->c(n+1)->cn->c(n-rwosize+1)
I draw my elements with a VAO and drawelements/row; (i tried drawrange but didnt work)
...
glGenVertexArrays(1,&VertArrObj);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,indexBuffer);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,sizeof(GLuint)*v_heightIndexes.sie(),&v_heightIndexes[0],GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,vertexBuffer);
[Code] ....
I think it want to index my color array too, so how can i do that it only reads the 3 colors from my array, the repeat it /vertex/triangle till the end of drawing.
The shaders work fine, i changed the map to a triangle so it applied these colors, but with the map "I see only darkness before me".
with my working shader without color "in" - height coloring: [URL] ....
(I also want to do texturing per triangle.)
So I did read, however it said also that it was memory intensive and I had a question... I also came across this:
Window.pushGLStates();
Window.draw("Sfml Text");
Window.popGLStates();
The problem here is that none of these commands exist!
Window.draw should exist and even though I have all the proper includes I still get it telling me that 'Draw' is not a member of sf::Window
I have encountered that error many times everywhere across my sfml related code, it's not like they removed all those features in the update (Which they did not) but, why then would it not be a member?
I am supposed to create a class of rectangular prism in opengl. I am having touble in writing my "draw()" function.
I have searched the web, and lots of the sites have:
glBegin(GL_Quads);
glVertex3f(x,y,z);
glVertex3f(...);
glVertex3f(...);
glVertex3f(...);
3D coordinates for each face.
For my code, I am getting a value for lengths of x, y and z like "getXlength(x_length)" etc... I would like to know how I can use these values to draw the prism rather than giving values for each coordinates in each face.

I am trying to get OpenGL to render inside of a Win32 api static control. I've gone through Nehe's tutorial [URL] on how to render to an entire window. I understand how to do that and I can do it, but I'm not totally sure how to get it to render inside of a static control(or any control). The idea is to have a gui built around an OpenGL view. how I could render inside a static or custom win32 control?
