Introduction to OpenGL
OpenGL is a low-level graphics library specification. It makes available to the programmer a
small set of geometric primitives - points, lines, polygons, images, and bitmaps. OpenGL
provides a set of commands that allow the specification of geometric objects in two or three
dimensions, using the provided primitives, together with commands that control how these
objects are rendered (drawn).
Since OpenGL drawing commands are limited to those that generate simple geometric primitives
(points, lines, and polygons), the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) has been created to aid in the
development of more complicated three-dimensional objects such as a sphere, a torus, and even a
teapot. GLUT may not be satisfactory for full-featured OpenGL applications, but it is a useful
starting point for learning OpenGL.
GLUT is designed to fill the need for a window system independent programming interface for
OpenGL programs. The interface is designed to be simple yet still meet the needs of useful
OpenGL programs. Removing window system operations from OpenGL is a sound decision
because it allows the OpenGL graphics system to be retargeted to various systems including
powerful but expensive graphics workstations as well as mass-production graphics systems like
video games, set-top boxes for interactive television, and PCs.
GLUT simplifies the implementation of programs using OpenGL rendering. The GLUT
application programming interface (API) requires very few routines to display a graphics scene
rendered using OpenGL. The GLUT routines also take relatively few parameters.

1.1 Rendering Pipeline

Most implementations of OpenGL have a similar order of operations, a series of processing
stages called the OpenGL rendering pipeline. Although this is not a strict rule of how OpenGL is
implemented, it provides a reliable guide for predicting what OpenGL will do. Geometric data
(vertices, line, and polygons) follow a path through the row of boxes that includes evaluators and
per-vertex operations, while pixel data (pixels, images and bitmaps) are treated differently for
part of the process. Both types of data undergo the same final step (rasterization) before the final
pixel data is written to the frame buffer.

Display Lists: All data, whether it describes geometry or pixels, can be saved in a display list for
current or later use. (The alternative to retaining data in a display list is processing the data
immediately-known as immediate mode.) When a display list is executed, the retained data is
sent from the display list just as if it were sent by the application in immediate mode.
Evaluators: All geometric primitives are eventually described by vertices. Evaluators provide a
method for deriving the vertices used to represent the surface from the control points. The
method is a polynomial mapping, which can produce surface normal, colors, and spatial
coordinate values from the control points.

Per-Vertex and Primitive Assembly: For vertex data, the next step converts the vertices into
primitives. Some types of vertex data are transformed by 4x4 floating-point matrices. Spatial
coordinates are projected from a position in the 3D world to a position on your screen. In some
cases, this is followed by perspective division, which makes distant geometric objects appear
smaller than closer objects. Then view port and depth operations are applied. The results at this
point are geometric primitives, which are transformed with related color and depth values and
guidelines for the rasterization step.
Pixel Operations: While geometric data takes one path through the OpenGL rendering pipeline,
pixel data takes a different route. Pixels from an array in system memory are first unpacked form
one of a variety of formats into the proper number of components. Next the data is scaled, biased,
processed by a pixel map, and sent to the rasterization step.
Rasterization: Rasterization is the conversion of both geometric and pixel data into fragments.
Each fragment square corresponds to a pixel in the frame buffer. Line width, point size, shading
model, and coverage calculations to support antialiasing are taken it to consideration as vertices
are connected into lines or the interior pixels are calculated for a filled polygon. Color and depth
values are assigned for each fragment square. The processed fragment is then drawn into the
appropriate buffer, where it has finally advanced to be a pixel and achieved its final resting place.

1.2 Libraries
OpenGL provides a powerful but primitive set of rendering command, and all higher-level
drawing must be done in terms of these commands. There are several libraries that allow you to
simplify your programming tasks, including the following:

OpenGL Utility Library (GLU) contains several routines that use lower-level OpenGL
commands to perform such tasks as setting up matrices for specific viewing orientations
and projections and rendering surfaces.

OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) is a window-system-independent toolkit, written by Mark

Kilgard, to hide the complexities of differing window APIs.

1.3 Include Files

For all OpenGL applications, you want to include the gl.h header file in every file. Almost all
OpenGL applications use GLU, the aforementioned OpenGL Utility Library, which also requires
inclusion of the glu.h header file. So almost every OpenGL source file begins with:

#include<GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
If you are using the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) for managing your window manager tasks,
you should include:
#include <GL/glut.h>
Note that glut.h guarantees that gl.h and glu.h are properly included for you so including these
three files is redundant. To make your GLUT programs portable, include glut.h and do not
include gl.h or glu.h explicitly.

Compiling OpenGL/GLUT Programs

1. Create a new project:
o

choose File | New from the File Menu

select the Projects tab

choose Win32 Console Application

fill in your Project name

2. Designate library files for the linker to use:

o

choose Project | Settings from the File Menu

under Oject/library modules: enter "opengl32.lib glu32.lib glut32.lib"

3. Add/Create files to the project:

o

choose Project | Add to Project | Files from the File menu

add the required program files

4. Build and Execute

1.5 Initialization
The first thing we need to do is call the glutInit() procedure. It should be called before any
other GLUT routine because it initializes the GLUT library. The parameters to glutInit() should
be the same as those to main(), specifically main(int argc, char** argv) and glutInit(&argc, argv),
where argcp is a pointer to the program's unmodified argc variable from main. Upon return, the
value pointed to by argcp will be updated, and argv is the program's unmodified argv variable
from main. Like argcp, the data for argv will be updated.
The next thing we need to do is call the glutInitDisplayMode() procedure to specify the
display mode for a window. You must first decide whether you want to use an RGBA
(GLUT_RGBA) or color-index (GLUT_INDEX) color model. The RGBA mode stores its color
buffers as red, green, blue, and alpha color components. The forth color component, alpha,
corresponds to the notion of opacity. An alpha value of 1.0 implies complete opacity, and an
alpha value of 0.0 complete transparancy. Color-index mode, in contrast, stores color buffers in
indices. Your decision on color mode should be based on hardware availability and what you
application requires. More colors can usually be simultaneously represented with RGBA mode
than with color-index mode. And for special effects, such as shading, lighting, and fog, RGBA
mode provides more flexibility. In general, use RGBA mode whenever possible. RGBA mode is
the default.

Another decision you need to make when setting up the display mode is whether you
want to use single buffering (GLUT_SINGLE) or double buffering (GLUT_DOUBLE).
Applications that use both front and back color buffers are double-buffered. Smooth animation is
accomplished by rendering into only the back buffer (which isn't displayed), then causing the
front and back buffers to be swapped. If you aren't using animation, stick with single buffering,
which is the default.
Finally, you must decide if you want to use a depth buffer (GLUT_DEPTH), a stencil
buffer (GLUT_STENCIL) and/or an accumulation buffer (GLUT_ACCUM). The depth buffer
stores a depth value for each pixel. By using a "depth test", the depth buffer can be used to
display objects with a smaller depth value in front of objects with a larger depth value. The
second buffer, the stencil buffer is used to restrict drawing to certain portions of the screen, just
as a cardboard stencil can be used with a can of spray paint to make a printed image. Finally, the
accumulation buffer is used for accumulating a series of images into a final composed image.
None of these are default buffers.
We need to create the characteristics of our window. A call to glutInitWindowSize() will
be used to specify the size, in pixels, of your initial window. The arguments indicate the height
and width (in pixels) of the requested window. Similarly, glutInitWindowPosition() is used to
specify the screen location for the upper-left corner of your initial window. The arguments, x and
y, indicate the location of the window relative to the entire display.

1.6 Creating a Window

To actually create a window, the with the previously set characteristics (display mode,
size, location, etc), the programmer uses the glutCreateWindow() command. The command takes
a string as a parameter which may appear in the title bar if the window system you are using
supports it. The window is not actually displayed until the glutMainLoop() is entered.

1.7 Display Function

The glutDisplayFunc() procedure is the first and most important event callback function
you will see. A callback function is one where a programmer-specified routine can be registered
to be called in response to a specific type of event. For example, the argument of
glutDisplayFunc() is the function that is called whenever GLUT determines that the contents of

the window needs to be redisplayed. Therefore, you should put all the routines that you need to
draw a scene in this display callback function.

1.8 Reshape Function

The glutReshapeFunc() is a callback function that specifies the function that is called
whenever the window is resized or moved. Typically, the function that is called when needed by
the reshape function displays the window to the new size and redefines the viewing
characteristics as desired. If glutReshapeFunc() is not called, a default reshape function is called
which sets the view to minimize distortion and sets the display to the new height and width.

1.9 Main Loop

The very last thing you must do is call glutMainLoop(). All windows that have been
created can now be shown, and rendering those windows is now effective. The program will now
be able to handle events as they occur (mouse clicks, window resizing, etc). In addition, the
registered display callback (from our glutDisplayFunc()) is triggered. Once this loop is entered, it
is never exited!

Geometric Objects used in graphics

2.1 Point, Lines and Polygons
Each geometric object is described by a set of vertices and the type of primitive to be
drawn. A vertex is no more than a point defined in three dimensional space. Whether and how
these vertices are connected is determined by the primitive type. Every geometric object is
ultimately described as an ordered set of vertices. We use the glVertex*() command to specify a
vertex. The '*' is used to indicate that there are variations to the base command glVertex().
Some OpenGL command names have one, two, or three letters at the end to denote the number
and type of parameters to the command. The first character indicates the number of values of the
indicated type that must be presented to the command. The second character indicates the
specific type of the arguments. The final character, if present, is 'v', indicating that the command
takes a pointer to an array (a vector) of values rather than a series of individual agreements.
For example, in the command glVertex3fv(), '3' is used to indicate three arguments, 'f' is used to
indicate the arguments are floating point, and 'v' indicates that the arguments are in vector format.
Points: A point is represented by a single vertex. Vertices specified by the user as twodimensional (only x- and y-coordinates) are assigned a z-coordinate equal to zero. To control the
size of a rendered point, use glPointSize() and supply the desired size in pixels as the argument.
The default is as 1 pixel by 1 pixel point. If the width specified is 2.0, the point will be a square
of 2 by 2 pixels. glVertex*() is used to describe a point, but it is only effective between a
glBegin() and a glEnd() pair. The argument passed to glBegin() determines what sort of
geometric primitive is constructed from the vertices.
Lines: In OpenGL, the term line refers to a line segment, not the mathematician's version that
extends to infinity in both directions. The easiest way to specify a line is in terms of the vertices
at the endpoints. As with the points above, the argument passed to glBegin() tells it what to do
with the vertices. The option for lines includes:
GL_LINES: Draws a series of unconnected line segments drawn between each set of vertices. An
extraneous

vertex

is

ignored.

GL_LINE_STRIP: Draws a line segment from the first vertex to the last. Lines can intersect
arbitrarily.

10CSL67 CG&V Lab

VI Sem. CSE

GL_LINE_LOOP: Same as GL_STRIP, except that a final line segment is drawn from the last
vertex back to the first.
With OpenGL, the description of the shape of an object being drawn is independent of the
description of its color. When a particular geometric object is drawn, it's drawn using the
currently specified coloring scheme. In general, an OpenGL programmer first sets the color,
using glColor*() and then draws the objects. Until the color is changed, all objects are drawn in
that color or using that color scheme.
Polygons: Polygons are the areas enclosed by single closed loops of line segments, where the
line segments are specified by the vertices at their endpoints. Polygons are typically drawn with
the pixels in the interior filled in, but you can also draw them as outlines or a set of points. In
OpenGL, there are a few restrictions on what constitutes a primitive polygon. For example, the
edges of a polygon cannot intersect and they must be convex (no indentations). There are special
commands

for

three-sided

(triangle)

and

four-sided

(quadrilateral)

polygons,

glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES) and glBegin(GL_QUADS), respectively. However, the general case

of a polygon can be defined using glBegin(GL_POLYGON).

2.2 Drawing 3-D Objects

GLUT has a series of drawing routines that are used to create three-dimensional models.
This means we don't have to reproduce the code necessary to draw these models in each program.
These routines render all their graphics in immediate mode. Each object comes in two flavors,
wire or solid. Available objects are:

2.3 Transformations
A modeling transformation is used to position and orient the model. For example, you can
rotate, translate, or scale the model - or some combination of these operations. To make an object
appear further away from the viewer, two options are available - the viewer can move closer to
the object or the object can be moved further away from the viewer. Moving the viewer will be
discussed later when we talk about viewing transformations. For right now, we will keep the
default "camera" location at the origin, pointing toward the negative z-axis, which goes into the
screen perpendicular to the viewing plane.

Dept. of CSE, CIT,Gubbi -572 216.

When transformations are performed, a series of matrix multiplications are actually performed to
affect the position, orientation, and scaling of the model. You must, however, think of these
matrix multiplications occuring in the opposite order from how they appear in the code. The
order of transformations is critical. If you perform transformation A and then perform
transformation B, you almost always get something different than if you do them in the opposite
order.
Scaling: The scaling command glScale() multiplies the current matrix by a matrix that stretches,
shrinks, or reflects an object along the axes. Each x-, y-, and z-coordinate of every point in the
object is multiplied by the corresponding argument x, y, or z. The glScale*() is the only one of
the three modeling transformations that changes the apparent size of an object: scaling with
values greater than 1.0 stretches an object, and using values less than 1.0 shrinks it. Scaling with
a -1.0 value reflects an object across an axis.
Translation: The translation command glTranslate() multiplies the current matrix by a matrix
that moves (translates) an object by the given x-, y-, and z-values.
Rotation: The rotation command glRotate() multiplies the current matrix that rotates an object in
a counterclockwise direction about the ray from the origin through the point (x,y,z). The angle
parameter specifies the angle of rotation in degrees. An object that lies farther from the axis of
rotation is more dramatically rotated (has a larger orbit) than an object drawn near the axis.

Liang-Barsky line clipping

AIM: - Program to implement Liang-Barsky line clipping algorithm

Algorithm
1. Set
and
2. Calculate the values of tL, tR, tT, and tB (tvalues).
if
or
ignore it and go to the next edge
otherwise classify the tvalue as entering or exiting value (using inner product to
classify)
if t is entering value set

; if t is exiting value set

3. If
then draw a line from (x1 + dx*tmin, y1 + dy*tmin) to (x1 + dx*tmax, y1
+ dy*tmax)
4. If the line crosses over the window, you will see (x1 + dx*tmin, y1 + dy*tmin) and (x1 +
dx*tmax, y1 + dy*tmax) are intersection between line and edge.

Viva Questions & Answers

1. Define Computer graphics?
Computer graphics are graphics created by computers and, more generally, the
representation and manipulation of pictorial data by a computer
2. Define Computer Animation?
Computer animation is the art of creating moving images via the use of computers. It is a
subfield of computer graphics and animation
3. Define Pixel?
The word pixel is based on a contraction of pix ("pictures") and el (for "element"). Pixels
are normally arranged in a 2-dimensional grid, and are often represented using dots,
squares, or rectangles
4. Define Raster graphics?
Raster Graphics, which is the representation of images as an array of pixels, as it is
typically used for the representation of photographic images.
5. Define Image?
An image (from Latin imago) is an artifact, usually two-dimensional (a picture), that has
a similar appearance to some subjectusually a physical object or a person.
6. Define Rendering?
Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model, by means of computer
programs.
7. Define Ray Tracing?
Ray tracing is a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through
pixels in an image plane.
8. Define Projection?
Projection is a method of mapping points to a plane.
9. Define 3D Projection?
3D projection is a method of mapping three dimensional points to a two dimensional
plane.
10. Define Texture Mapping?
Texture mapping is a method for adding detail, surface texture, or color to a computergenerated graphic or 3D model.
11. Define Vector Graphics?
Vector graphics formats are complementary to raster graphics, which is the
representation of images as an array of pixels, as it is typically used for the representation
of photographic images.
12. Define Pinhole camera model?
The pinhole camera model describes the mathematical relationship between the
coordinates of a 3D point and its projection onto the image plane of an ideal pinhole
Dept. of CSE, CIT,Gubbi -572 216.

camera, where the camera aperture is described as a point and no lenses are used to focus
light.
13. Define digital image?
A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image using ones and zeros
(binary). Without qualifications, the term "digital image" usually refers to raster images.
14. Define Grayscale?
A grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a
single sample, that is, it carries only intensity information.
15. Define Pinhole Camera?
A pinhole camera is a very simple camera with no lens and a single very small aperture.
Simply explained, it is a light-proof box with a small hole in one side.
16. Define CCD?
A charge-coupled device (CCD) is an analog shift register that enables the transportation
of analog signals (electric charges) through successive stages (capacitors), controlled by a
clock signa.
17. Define Image Resolution?
Image resolution describes the detail an image holds. The term applies equally to digital
images, film images, and other types of images. Higher resolution means more image
detail.
18. Define Wavelength?
Wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a propagating wave of a given
frequency.
19. What is an Electromagnetic Spectrum?
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic
radiation frequencies. The "electromagnetic spectrum" (usually just spectrum) of an
object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation from that particular
object.
20. Define Halftone?
Halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through
the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing. 'Halftone' can also be used to refer
specifically to the image that is produced by this process.
21. Define WCS?
World Coordinate Systems. While every point in the FITS data array can be located in
the coordinate system determined by the array axes. World Coordinate Systems (WCS)
are any coordinate systems that describe the physical coordinate associated with a data
array, such as sky coordinates.
22. What is OpenGL?
OpenGL(R) is the software interface for graphics hardware that allows graphics
programmers to produce high-quality color images of 3D objects. OpenGL is a rendering
only, vendor neutral API providing 2D and 3D graphics functions, including modeling,
transformations, color, lighting, smooth shading, as well as advanced features like texture

mapping, NURBS, fog, alpha blending and motion blur. OpenGL works in both
immediate and retained (display list) graphics modes.
OpenGL is window system and operating system independent. OpenGL has been
integrated with Windows NT and with the X Window System under UNIX. Also,
OpenGL is network transparent. A defined common extension to the X Window System
allows an OpenGL client on one vendor's platform to run across a network to another
vendor's OpenGL server
23. What hardware supports the OpenGL API?
Many vendors have developed or are developing implementations of the OpenGL API for
a variety of embedded hardware devices including aircraft avionics, PDAs (personal
digital assistants such as PalmTM), cellular phones, game consoles (Sony Playstation 2),
television set-top boxes, and display devices (X-Terms and network computers). The
small size of the OpenGL API, its open nature, and now free use of the sample
implementation make the OpenGL API an ideal graphics library for these types of
applications.
24. What are the benefits of OpenGL for hardware and software developers?

Industry standard

Reliable and portable.

Evolving.

Scalable.

Easy to use.

Well-documented.

25. What is the GLUT Toolkit?

GLUT is a portable toolkit which performs window and event operations to support
OpenGL rendering
26. How does the camera work in OpenGL?
As far as OpenGL is concerned, there is no camera. More specifically, the camera is
always located at the eye space coordinate (0.0, 0.0, 0.0). To give the appearance of
moving the camera, your OpenGL application must move the scene with the inverse of
the camera transformation by placing it on the MODELVIEW matrix. This is commonly
referred to as the viewing transformation. In practice this is mathematically equivalent to
a camera transformation but more efficient because model transformations and camera
transformations are concatenated to a single matrix. As a result though, certain operations
must be performed when the camera and only the camera is on the MODELVIEW matrix.
For example to position a light source in world space it most be positioned while the
viewing transformation and only the viewing transformation is applied to the
MODELVIEW matrix.

27. How do I implement a zoom operation?

Dept. of CSE, CIT,Gubbi -572 216.

Page No. -50-

10CSL67 CG&V Lab

VI Sem. CSE

A simple method for zooming is to use a uniform scale on the ModelView matrix.
However, this often results in clipping by the zNear and zFar clipping planes if the model
is scaled too large. A better method is to restrict the width and height of the view volume
in the Projection matrix. For example, your program might maintain a zoom factor based
on user input, which is a floating-point number. When set to a value of 1.0, no zooming
takes place. Larger values result in greater zooming or a more restricted field of view,
while smaller values cause the opposite to occur.
28. How do I get a specified point (XYZ) to appear at the center of the scene?
gluLookAt() is the easiest way to do this. Simply set the X, Y, and Z values of your point
as the fourth, fifth, and sixth parameters to gluLookAt ().
29. Define Instruction Pipeline?
An instruction pipeline is a technique used in the design of computers and other digital
electronic devices to increase their instruction throughput (the number of instructions that
can be executed in a unit of time).
30. Define Geometric Pipeline?
Geometric manipulation of modeling primitives, such as that performed by a Geometry
Pipeline, is the first stage in computer graphics systems which perform image generation
based on geometric models.
31. Define Perspective Projection?
Perspective (from Latin perspicere, to see through) in the graphic arts, such as drawing,
is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is
perceived by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects
are drawn.
