Constant scale orthographic projection
Author
I'm doing a little GUI test, and I want my GUI to stay a constant size in pixels, regardless of the size of the window it's in.
The GUI is defined relative to the top-left corner of the window, and I use gluOrtho2d to define the projection like so:
600 is the width and height of the initial window. I'm keeping them constant here as I DONT want the gui elements to scale when the window resizes. i.e. I want the coordinate system to stay the same andbe exactly the same as the integer coordinates I get through from glut's x, y parameters to glutMouseMoveFunc etc.
Has anyone done this before, or know what I should be doing?
glViewport(0, 0, window_width, window_height);glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION)glLoadIdentity();glOrtho(0, window_width, window_height, 0);There, origin in the upper left corner, with positive Y-axis downwards.
