OpenGL Simulation is The Future!

Surface Orientation (Clarification)
• Right-hand rule
• Triangle strip drawn 0-1-2, 2-1-3, 2-3-4, etc.

• All triangles face same direction (here: back)
• Similarly for quad strips 0-1-3-2, 2-3-5-4, etc.
• Orientable surfaces; discard back faces:
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glCullFace(GL_BACK); /* do not draw back faces */


Choice of Programming Language
• OpenGL lives close to the hardware
• OpenGL is not object-oriented
• OpenGL is not functional
• Use C to expose and exploit low-level details
• Use C++, Java ... for toolkits
• Support for C and C++ in assignments


Client/Server Model
• Graphics hardware and caching

• Important for efficiency
• Need to be aware where data are stored
• Examples: vertex arrays, display lists


Display Lists
• Encapsulate a sequence of drawing commands
• Optimize and store on server
GLuint listName = glGenLists(1); /* new name */
glNewList (listName, GL_COMPILE); /* new list */
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
...
glEnd();
glTranslatef(1.5, 0.0, 0.0); /* offset next object */
glEndList();
glCallList(listName); /* draw one */


Display Lists Details
• Useful for sequences of transformations
• Important for complex surfaces
• Another example: fonts
• Hierarchical display lists supported
• Display lists cannot be changed
• Display lists can be replaced
• Not necessary in first assignment


Vertex Arrays
• Draw cube with 6*4=24 or with 8 vertices?
• Expense in drawing and transformation
• Strips help to some extent
• Vertex arrays provide general solution
• Advanced (new in OpenGL 1.2)
– Define (transmit) array of vertices, colors, normals
– Draw using index into array(s)
– Vertex sharing for efficient operations
• Not needed for first assignment


Main Event Loop
• Standard technique for interaction
• Main loop processes events
• Dispatch to functions specified by client
• Callbacks also common in operating systems
• Poor man’s functional programming
• Mediates between client and window system


Types of Callbacks
• Display ( ): when window must be drawn
• Idle ( ): when no other events to be handled
• Keyboard (unsigned char key, int x, int y): key
• Menu (...): after selection from menu
• Mouse (int button, int state, int x, int y): mouse
• Motion (...): mouse movement
• Reshape (int w, int h): window resize
• Any callback can be NULL


Refresh Screen
• Common: 60-100 Hz
• Flicker if drawing overlaps screen refresh
• Problem during animation
• Example (cube_single.c)
• Solution two frame buffers:
– Draw into one buffer
– Swap and display, while drawing into other buffer
• Desirable frame rate >= 30 fps (frames/second)


Enabling Modes
• One example of many
• glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE);
• glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_DOUBLE);
• glutSwapBuffers ();
• If something has no effect, check mode


Specifying the Viewing Volume
• Clip everything not in viewing volume
• Separate matrices for transformation and projection
glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
... Set viewing volume ...
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);


Parallel Viewing
• Orthographic projection
• Camera points in negative z direction
• glOrtho(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, near, far)


Perspective Viewing
• Slightly more complex
• glFrustum(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, near, far)


Transformations Simple
• Rotate by given angle (in degrees) about ray from origin
through (x, y, z)
glRotate{fd}(angle, x, y, z);

• Translate by the given x, y, and z values
glTranslate{fd}(x, y, z);

• Scale with a factor in the x, y, and z direction
glScale{fd}(x, y, z);


Example: Rotating Color Cube
• Problem:
– Draw a color cube
– Rotate it about x, y, or z axis, depending on left, middle or right
mouse click
– Stop when space bar is pressed
– Quit when q or Q is pressed


Step 1: Defining the Vertices
• Use parallel arrays for vertices and colors
/* vertices of cube about the origin */
GLfloat vertices[8][3] =
{{-1.0, -1.0, -1.0}, {1.0, -1.0, -1.0},
{1.0, 1.0, -1.0}, {-1.0, 1.0, -1.0}, {-1.0, -1.0, 1.0},
{1.0, -1.0, 1.0}, {1.0, 1.0, 1.0}, {-1.0, 1.0, 1.0}};
/* colors to be assigned to edges */
GLfloat colors[8][3] =
{{0.0, 0.0, 0.0}, {1.0, 0.0, 0.0},
{1.0, 1.0, 0.0}, {0.0, 1.0, 0.0}, {0.0, 0.0, 1.0},
{1.0, 0.0, 1.0}, {1.0, 1.0, 1.0}, {0.0, 1.0, 1.0}};


Step 2: Set Up
• Enable depth testing and double buffering
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit (&argc, argv);
/* double buffering for smooth animation */
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_RGB);
... /* window creation and callbacks here */
glEnable (GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glutMainLoop();
return(0);
}


Step 3: Install Callbacks
• Create window and set callbacks

glutInitWindowSize(500, 500);
glutCreateWindow("cube");
glutReshapeFunc(myReshape);
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutIdleFunc(spinCube);
glutMouseFunc(mouse);
glutKeyboardFunc(keyboard);


Step 4: Reshape Callback
• Enclose cube, preserve aspect ratio
void myReshape(int w, int h)
{
GLfloat aspect = (GLfloat) w / (GLfloat) h;
glViewport(0, 0, w, h);
glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
if (w <= h) /* aspect <= 1 */
glOrtho(-2.0, 2.0, -2.0/aspect, 2.0/aspect, -10.0, 10.0);
else /* aspect > 1 */
glOrtho(-2.0*aspect, 2.0*aspect, -2.0, 2.0, -10.0, 10.0);
glMatrixMode (GL_MODELVIEW);
}


Step 5: Display Callback
• Clear, rotate, draw, flush, swap
GLfloat theta[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
void display(void)
{
glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glRotatef(theta[0], 1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
colorcube();
glFlush();
glutSwapBuffers();
}


Step 6: Drawing Faces
• Call face(a, b, c, d) with vertex index
• Orient consistently
void colorcube(void)
{
face(0,3,2,1);
face(2,3,7,6);
face(0,4,7,3);
face(1,2,6,5);
face(4,5,6,7);
face(0,1,5,4);
}


Step 7: Drawing a Face
• Use vector form of primitives and attributes
void face(int a, int b, int c, int d)
{
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glColor3fv(colors[a]);
glVertex3fv(vertices[a]);
glColor3fv(colors[b]);
glVertex3fv(vertices[b]);
glColor3fv(colors[c]);
glVertex3fv(vertices[c]);
glColor3fv(colors[d]);
glVertex3fv(vertices[d]);
glEnd();
}


Step 8: Animation
• Set idle callback
GLfloat delta = 2.0;
GLint axis = 2;
void spinCube()
{
/* spin cube delta degrees about selected axis */
theta[axis] += delta;
if (theta[axis] > 360.0)
theta[axis] -= 360.0;
/* display result */
glutPostRedisplay();
}


Step 9: Change Axis of Rotation
• Mouse callback
void mouse (int btn, int state, int x, int y)
{
if (btn==GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON
&& state == GLUT_DOWN) axis = 0;
if (btn==GLUT_MIDDLE_BUTTON
if (btn==GLUT_RIGHT_BUTTON
}


Step 10: Toggle Rotation or Exit
• Keyboard callback

void keyboard (unsigned char key, int x, int y)
{
if (key=='q' || key == 'Q') exit(0);
if (key==' ') {stop = !stop;};
if (stop)
glutIdleFunc(NULL);
else
glutIdleFunc(spinCube);
}

• Callbacks
• Double Buffering
• Simple Transformations
