well, I''ve tried multiple methods. read the tutorial on opengl.org about 2d opengl, yet for some reason their code works and mine doesn''t.
here''s how I''m initializing:
glViewport(0,0,640,480);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluOrtho2D(0.0f,640.0f,0.0f,480.0f);// 2d version of gluOrtho()
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
I made sure the depth buffer is disabled, and the min_z and max_z clipping planes are by default set to -1 and 1. my simple rendering code is:
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef (1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f); // in fov, min clip plane
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); //ccw order
glVertex2f(-1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex2f(1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex2f(0.0f,1.0f);
glEnd();
I know I''m probably doing something stupid wrong. If anybody can find it I''d appreciate it.
Thanks,
