Doing 2D things with OpenGL
Author
Is it possible to render 2D images with opengl? Now I''m not talking about particle like sprites, but something more along the lines of DirectDraw.
Lets say that I have a 800x600 image and I''m in 800x600 display mode. Is there a awy to make it fi the screen perfectly? I hope that makes sence.
To draw images onto the screen you can use two different approaches:
1. blit the image with glDrawPixels
2. draw a quad that is textured with the image data (remember to calculate the right texture size (powers of 2
) and the texcoords).

Ahh... But there''s a third (easy and fast) way:
3. Use glViewport() and glOrtho() to set up the orthographic
projection. Then use glVertex().
glViewport(0, 0, Width, Height);glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);glLoadIdentity();glOrtho(0, Width, Height, 0, -1, 1);glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);glLoadIdentity();// Do your drawing (0, 0) is top-left and (Width, Height) is bottom-right.
Pixel-coordinates. Simple.
Premature optimizations can only slow down your project even more.
sorry if it''s stupid, but...
how do you make that tangentz ? the white screen ? is there any way to draw something here in order to explain better what you want ?
thanx a lot
