Report: Write a program for designing an asterisk using OpenGL.
1. Objective
The objective of this lab was to create a graphical program using OpenGL and GLUT that
renders star shapes in a fan-like arrangement. The program demonstrates the use of geometric
transformations, basic drawing functions, and color manipulation in OpenGL.
2. Code
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <cmath> // Include the math library
// Function to draw a star
void drawStar(float x, float y, float size) {
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN);
glVertex2f(x, y); // Center of the star
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
float angle = i * 2.0f * 3.14159f / 10; // 10 points for the star
float radius = (i % 2 == 0) ? size : size / 2.0f; // Alternate outer and inner radius
glVertex2f(x + cos(angle) * radius, y + sin(angle) * radius);
}
glEnd();
}
// Display function
void display() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// Draw stars in a fan-like pattern with different colors
glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Green
drawStar(-0.3f, 0.3f, 0.2f);
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Red
drawStar(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.2f);
glColor3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Blue
drawStar(-0.3f, -0.3f, 0.2f);
glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Green
drawStar(0.3f, -0.3f, 0.2f);
glFlush();
}
// Main function
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize(400, 400);
glutCreateWindow("Fan-like Stars with OpenGL and GLUT");
gluOrtho2D(-1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Set background color to black
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
4. Output
Upon running the program, a 500x500 pixel window opens displaying a Star.

6. Conclusion
This lab successfully demonstrated how to use OpenGL and GLUT to create basic 2D shapes
and manipulate colors. The program illustrates fundamental concepts of computer graphics,
including drawing primitives, coordinate systems, and color management.
