GLUT Callback functions

Event-driven: Programs that use windows Input/Output Wait until an event happens and then

execute some pre-defined functions according to the user’s input

Events – key press, mouse button press and release, window resize, etc.

GLUT Callback Functions

Callback function : Routine to call when an event happens Window resize or redraw User input (mouse, keyboard) Animation (render many frames)

“Register” callbacks with GLUT glutDisplayFunc( my_display ); glutIdleFunc( my_idle_func ); glutKeyboardFunc( my_key_events ); glutMouseFunc ( my_mouse );

Rendering Callback

Callback function where all our drawing is done

glutDisplayFunc( my_display );

void my_display (void ){glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT );glBegin( GL_TRIANGLE );

glVertex3fv( v[0] );glVertex3fv( v[1] );glVertex3fv( v[2] );

glEnd();}

5

Idle Callback

Use for animation and continuous update glutIdleFunc( idle );

void idle( void ){ t += dt;

glutPostRedisplay();

}

6

User Input Callbacks

Process user input glutKeyboardFunc( my_key_events );

void my_key_events (char key, int x, int y ){

switch ( key ) {case ‘q’ : case ‘Q’ : exit ( EXIT_SUCCESS); break;case ‘r’ : case ‘R’ : rotate = GL_TRUE; break;

}}

7

Mouse Callback

Captures mouse press and release events

glutMouseFunc( my_mouse );

void myMouse(int button, int state, int x, int y) {

if (button == GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON && state == GLUT_DOWN)

{

…

}

}

OpenGL Geometric Primitives

The geometry is specified by vertices. There are ten primitive types:

10

OpenGL Command Format

11

Vertices and Primitives

Primitives are specified usingglBegin( primType );…glEnd();

primType determines how vertices are combined

GLfloat red, green, blue;Glfloat coords[3];glBegin( primType );for ( i = 0; i < nVerts; ++i ) { glColor3f( red, green, blue ); glVertex3fv( coords );}glEnd();

12

An Example

void drawParallelogram( GLfloat color[] )

{glBegin( GL_QUADS );glColor3fv( color );glVertex2f( 0.0, 0.0 );glVertex2f( 1.0, 0.0 );glVertex2f( 1.5, 1.118 );glVertex2f( 0.5, 1.118 );glEnd();

}

13

Vertices and Primitives

Points, GL_POINTS individual points

14

Vertices and Primitives

Lines, GL_LINES pairs of vertices interpreted as individual line

segments

15

Vertices and Primitives

Line Strip, GL_LINE_STRIP series of connected line segments

16

Vertices and Primitives

Line Loop, GL_LINE_LOOP Line strip with a segment added between last and first

vertices

17

Vertices and Primitives

Polygon , GL_POLYGON boundary of a simple, convex polygon

18

Vertices and Primitives

Triangles , GL_TRIANGLES triples of vertices interpreted as triangles

23

Vertices and Primitives

Vertices may be specified in 2D, 3D, or 4D. 2D coordinates are promoted to 3D by

assigning a Z value of zero. 4D homogeneous coordinates are reduced to

3D by dividing x, y, and z by the w coordinate (if non-zero).

24

Vertices and Primitives

Between glBegin/ glEnd, those opengl commands are allowed:

glVertex*() : set vertex coordinates glColor*() : set current color glIndex*() : set current color index glNormal*() : set normal vector coordinates glTexCoord*() : set texture coordinates

25

Vertices and Primitives

glMultiTexCoord*() : set texture coordinates for multitexturing

glEdgeFlag*() : control drawing of edges glMaterial*() : set material properties glArrayElement() : Extract array element data glCallList(), glCallLists() : execute display list

GLUI

GLUI is a GLUT-based C++ user interface library which provides controls such as buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, spinners, etc.

It is window-system independent, relying on GLUT to handle all system-dependent issues, such as window and mouse management.

27

GLUI Controls

28

GLUI - Simple Programming Interface GLUI provides default values for many parameters in the API and there

are several ways to create a control:

GLUI *glui;...glui->add_checkbox("Click me"); Adds a simple checkbox with

the name "Click me"glui->add_checkbox("Click me", &state );

The variable state will now be automatically update to reflect the state of the checkbox (live variable).glui->add_checkbox( "Click me", &state, 17, callback_fn );

Now we have a live variable, plus a callback functionwill be invoked (and passed the value '17') wheneverthe checkbox changes state.

29

Usage for standalone GLUI windowsIntegrating GLUI with a new or existing GLUT application is verystraightforward. The steps are:

1. Add the GLUI library to the link line (e.g., glui32.lib for Windows -lglui in Linux).

2. Include the file "glui.h" in all sources that will use the GLUI library.3. Create your regular GLUT windows as usual. Make sure to store the

window id of your main graphics window, so GLUI windows can later send it redisplay events:

int window_id = glutCreateWindow( "Main gfx window" );

4. Register your GLUT callbacks as usual (except the Idle callback, discussed below).

30

Usage for standalone GLUI windows5. Register your GLUT idle callback (if any) with GLUI_Master (a

global object which is already declared), to enable GLUI windows to take advantage of idle events without interfering with your application's idle events. If you do not have an idle callback, pass in NULL.

GLUI_Master.set_glutIdleFunc( myGlutIdle );or

GLUI_Master.set_glutIdleFunc( NULL );6. In your idle callback, explicitly set the current GLUT window before

rendering or posting a redisplay event. Otherwise the redisplay may accidently be sent to a GLUI window.

void myGlutIdle( void ) {

glutSetWindow(main_window);glutPostRedisplay();

}

31

Usage for standalone GLUI windows7. Create a new GLUI window using

GLUI *glui = GLUI_Master.create_glui( "name", flags, x, y );

Note that flags, x, and y are optional arguments. If they are not specified, default values will be used. GLUI provides default values for arguments whenever possible.

8. Add controls to the GLUI window. For example, we can add a checkbox and a quit button with:

glui->add_checkbox( "Lighting", &lighting );glui->add_button( "Quit", QUIT_ID, callback_func );

32

Usage for standalone GLUI windows9. Let each GLUI window you've created know where its

main graphics window is:

glui->set_main_gfx_window( window_id );

10. Invoke the standard GLUT main event loop, just as in any GLUT application:

glutMainLoop();

Refer GLUI Manual on the usage for GLUI subwindows
