New to OpenGL, problem :(

Hi,
I'm having a severe problem with a simple little thing in OpenGL. Here's the code I'm using:
The problem I'm having is that the glBegin isn't working at all, for any shape I try to make. And if I leave it, and call glRect afterwards, the product of that doesn't appear either.
If I comment out glTranslatef(), and the glBegin -> glEnd subroutine, glRecti() works fine.
glBegin isn't working at all, no matter what I try - the commented out sections are me juggling things around in an effort to make it work.
Can anybody help?
thanks,
ukdeveloper.

I don't have SDL so I can't do a test to be sure, but it looks like your glTranslate is pushing your stuff outside the frustum.
glOrtho(0.0f,800,600,0.0f,-1.0f,1.0f);
This is setting up your frustum to go from -1 to 1 in the Z direction.
glTranslatef(-1.5f,0.0f,-6.0f);
This translates to -6 in Z. That is outside of the -1 to 1 range you used.
I suspect you intended to do glTranslatef(-1.5f,-6.0f,0.0f); instead.
glOrtho(0.0f,800,600,0.0f,-1.0f,1.0f);

glTranslatef(-1.5f,0.0f,-6.0f);

I tried changing those values like you suggested, but still nothing.
Here's the code as it stands now:
Now, at least, with the triangle subroutine not commented out, glRecti() works and the rectangle is filled in blue due to me not setting another colour after the final triangle vertex.
But the triangle still won't appear at all, have I got glOrtho() mixed up or something?
Here's the code as it stands now:
#include <iostream>#include <cmath>#include <SDL/SDL.h>#include <SDL/SDL_opengl.h>#include <string>#include <GL/GL.h>#include <GL/GLU.h>enum RETURNTYPE {success,fail};int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ std::string GameName="SDL OpenGL sample"; if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)<0) { MessageBox(NULL,L"SDL Initialisation failed.",L"",MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP); return fail; } SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_RED_SIZE,5); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_GREEN_SIZE,5); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_BLUE_SIZE,5); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE,32); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER,1); SDL_Surface *screen=SDL_SetVideoMode(800,600,32,SDL_OPENGLBLIT); glViewport(0,0,800,600); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(0.0f,800,600,0.0f,-1.0f,1.0f); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); glClearColor(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,0.5f); glClearDepth(1.0f); glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH); glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE); glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT,GL_NICEST); while(1) { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glLoadIdentity(); glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f); glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f); glVertex3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f); glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f); glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f,0.0f); glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f); glVertex3f(1.0f,-1.0f,0.0f); glEnd(); glFlush(); glRecti(25,25,50,50); SDL_GL_SwapBuffers(); } return success;}Now, at least, with the triangle subroutine not commented out, glRecti() works and the rectangle is filled in blue due to me not setting another colour after the final triangle vertex.

I put your code into my GL framework, and it's fine. The only problem is that your triangle is very very small, and partially off screen. Remember that you set your frustum to be 0-800 in X and 0-600 in Y. That means the center of your screen is at (400, 300), but you are drawing your triangle centered around (0, 0).
Try these vertices out:
<code>
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(100.0f,100.0f,0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(700.0f,300.0f,0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
glVertex3f(400.0f,500.0f,0.0f);
</code>
Try these vertices out:
<code>
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(100.0f,100.0f,0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(700.0f,300.0f,0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
glVertex3f(400.0f,500.0f,0.0f);
</code>
[EDIT] "I'm too old for this ****." [/EDIT]
The only problem is that the triangle is too small to be seen, i think ;)
Try,
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(0.0f,100.0f,0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(-100.0f,-100.0f,0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
glVertex3f(100.0f,-100.0f,0.0f);
but you still wont see the whole triangle since most of it is outside the screen.
Try translating it down and to the right a bit,
glTranslatef(200.0f, 200.0f, 0);
