Example 1 OpenGL Program to Draw Lines
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
// Function to initialize OpenGL settings
void init() {
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Set background color to black
glColor3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Set line color to white
// Function to handle the drawing of lines
void display() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear the color buffer
glBegin(GL_LINES); // Start drawing lines
glVertex2f(-0.5f, 0.0f); // Line start point
glVertex2f(0.5f, 0.0f); // Line end point
glVertex2f(0.0f, -0.5f); // Line start point
glVertex2f(0.0f, 0.5f); // Line end point
glVertex2f(-0.5f, -0.5f); // Line start point
glVertex2f(0.5f, 0.5f); // Line end point
glEnd(); // End drawing lines
glFlush(); // Render now
// Main function
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv); // Initialize GLUT
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL Lines"); // Create a window with the given title
glutInitWindowSize(800, 600); // Set the window's initial width & height
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100); // Position the window's initial top-left corner
init(); // Call the initialization function
glutDisplayFunc(display); // Register display callback handler for window re-paint
glutMainLoop(); // Enter the event-processing loop
return 0;
Example2:-OpenGL drawing polygon
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
// Function to initialize OpenGL settings
void init() {
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Set background color to black
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Set polygon color to red
}
// Function to handle the drawing of the polygon
void display() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear the color buffer
glBegin(GL_POLYGON); // Start drawing a polygon
glVertex2f(-0.5f, 0.5f); // Vertex 1
glVertex2f(0.5f, 0.5f); // Vertex 2
glVertex2f(1.0f, 0.0f); // Vertex 3
glVertex2f(0.5f, -0.5f); // Vertex 4
glVertex2f(-0.5f, -0.5f);// Vertex 5
glVertex2f(-1.0f, 0.0f); // Vertex 6
glEnd(); // End drawing the polygon
glFlush(); // Render now
// Main function
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv); // Initialize GLUT
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL Polygon"); // Create a window with the given title
glutInitWindowSize(800, 600); // Set the window's initial width & height
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100); // Position the window's initial top-left corner
init(); // Call the initialization function
glutDisplayFunc(display); // Register display callback handler for window re-paint
glutMainLoop(); // Enter the event-processing loop
return 0;
}
Example3 of Enhanced Vertex Coloring
If you want to color each vertex differently, you can modify the display function like this:
void display() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear the color buffer
glBegin(GL_POLYGON); // Start drawing a polygon
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); glVertex2f(-0.5f, 0.5f); // Vertex 1 (Red)
glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); glVertex2f(0.5f, 0.5f); // Vertex 2 (Green)
glColor3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); glVertex2f(1.0f, 0.0f); // Vertex 3 (Blue)
glColor3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); glVertex2f(0.5f, -0.5f); // Vertex 4 (Yellow)
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f); glVertex2f(-0.5f, -0.5f);// Vertex 5 (Orange)
glColor3f(0.5f, 0.0f, 0.5f); glVertex2f(-1.0f, 0.0f); // Vertex 6 (Purple)
glEnd(); // End drawing the polygon
glFlush(); // Render now
