Take OpenGL coords is impossible
Author
Hi,
I''m trying to get the OpenGL coordinates for almost four months. I did some proofs but I only get the Y coordinate, cause the X and Z were always the same, and thier values were 0.0 or 1.0 or -1.0.
I know the functions are gluProject and gluUnproject, but I don''t know if I have to enable a state, or put the model matrix in a way, or... I don''t know what.
I read the OpenGL Programming Book, the Red Book, but It doesn''t help me. It just have the description for the functions.
Thanks.
What do you mean by OpenGL-coordinates? Worldspace coordinates, or 2D projected coordinates?
From your post I assume you want worldspace. Then I would look for "picking".

I''m not sure what you''re asking, but read the blue book (see the FAQ for the online version).
I just posted a little bit on gluProject and gluUnProject. Maybe it will help:

Well,
I''m talking about both coordinates, Windows and OpenGL scene.
But, my problem is that I don''t know how obtain these coords with the gluUnproject and gluProject functions.
I read the JahToasted''s articles ( thanks for it ) and someone said something about put the Reder Mode in GL_SELECT ( glRenderMode(GL_SELECT) ), and what the hell does this mean ? If I don''t put this state on I can''t take the coords?
Thanks for all responses !!!!
