  2. About me • Who: Jie Chen • What: Teaching assistant, Lab exercises • How: TS329 • Email: jiechen@ee.oulu.fi

  3. Website: http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~jiechen/Course.htm • Prerequisite programming skills using C/C++

  4. Tools: OpenGL • Task: what OpenGL is and how it enables us to program in 3D. • GL: graphic library

  5. What is OpenGL? • It's a way to draw stuff in 3D. • It can also be used for 2D drawing, but this course doesn't focus on that. There are better tools for straight 2D drawing, such as SDL and Allegro. • The purpose of OpenGL is to communicate with the graphics card about our 3D scene. • The graphics card is where the 3D computation happens. • So why not talk to the graphics card directly? • Each graphics card is a little different. • In a sense, they all speak different "languages". To talk to them all, we can either learn all of their languages, or find a "translator" that knows all of their languages and talk to the translator, so that we only have to know one language. • OpenGL serves as a "translator" for graphics cards.

  6. Some Terminologies • OpenGL • GL: graphic library • a software interface to graphics hardware. • This interface consists of about 150 distinct commands.

  7. Some Terminologies • GLU (OpenGL Utility Library) • GLU is a standard part of every OpenGL implementation. • A sophisticated library that provides the features could be built on top of OpenGL. • Provides many of the modeling features, such as • quadric surfaces and • NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) curves and surfaces.

  8. Some Terminologies • GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) • a window system independent toolkit for writing OpenGL programs. • It implements a simple windowing application programming interface (API) for OpenGL. • GLUT makes it much easier to learn about and explore OpenGL Programming. • Controlling the IO layer • input: mouse and keyboard • output: visual windows

  9. Include Files • For all OpenGL applications, we need to include the gl.h header file in every file. • Almost all OpenGL applications use GLU, which 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 we are using GLUT for managing our window manager tasks, we should include • #include <GL/glut.h> • Note that glut.h includes gl.h and glu.h automatically

  10. Getting OpenGL Set Up • In following part, we will show how to get OpenGL and GLUT set up on Windows, so that we can get started making 3D programs. • we can use OpenGL on other operating systems, but this part doesn't cover how to get it set up on those OSes. • Mac OS Xhttp://www.videotutorialsrock.com/opengl_tutorial/get_opengl_setup_mac_osx/home.php • Linuxhttp://www.videotutorialsrock.com/opengl_tutorial/get_opengl_setup_linux/home.php

  11. Getting OpenGL Set Up on Windows • Explain how to get OpenGL and GLUT set up on Windows (e.g., windows XP). • Use the Visual C++ 6.0. • You can also use other version, such as Visual C++ 2003, 2005, 2008. • CSE: Computer science and engineering laboratory • You can find it in our server: \\Samba.ee\i-awims\Microsoft • Other department: • you can downloade here: • http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/express/default.aspx • You have to register, which is free, within 30 days.

  12. OpenGL • Download • OpenGL installer • GLUT binary • http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~jiechen/Course.htm • Lecture notes ->Lecture 3

  13. OpenGL setup • Run the OpenGL installer.

  14. GLUT setup • Extract GLUT to the directory of your choice. • We can do this by creating a new directory, locating and opening the ZIP file using Windows Explorer, and copying the files to the new directory using copy-paste. • Alternatively, We can use a free program like WinZip to extract GLUT.

  15. GLUT setup • In the directory GLUT, make two folders • one called "include" and • one called "lib". • File assignment: • In the "include" folder, create another folder called "GL", and move glut.h to that folder (..\Include\GL). • Move all of the other extracted files for GLUT into the "lib" folder.

  16. Setup for Visual C++ • glut32.dll (dll: Dynamic-link library)

  17. Setup for Visual C++ • Run Visual C++ • Go to Tools -> Options-> Directories • Adding " GLUT\include", and " GLUT\lib"

  18. Compiling and Running the Test Program • To make sure that everything was set up correctly, we're going to see if we can get a test program to work. • Download test program and extract it somewhere on your computer. • http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~jiechen/Course.htm • Lecture notes ->Lecture 3 ->Cube

  19. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Run Visual C++. • Go to File -> New -> Project • Select Win32 Console applications • Set the project file location. • Enter in a name for your project (such as “CG") and click ok.

  20. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Select “a ‘hello world’ applications” • click “Finish” to finish creating the project.

  21. Compiling and Running the Test Program • File copy • extracted the downloaded test program • Copy the following files to the current folder

  22. Compiling and Running the Test Program • File content modification • Copy the code in main.cpp to replace those in CG.cpp • Add #include "stdafx.h" at the beginning of CG.cpp

  23. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Change from "Debug" to "Release".

  24. Compiling and Running the Test Program • File adding • Two files: imageloader.h and imageloader.cpp • Press ok

  25. Compiling and Running the Test Program • File adding • Lib file: glut32.lib • Press ok

  26. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Workspace view

  27. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Go to Build -> Build project_name (e.g., Build CG.cpp) to build our project.

  28. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Run it!

  29. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Take a look at CG.cpp. • Notice that the include directives for OpenGL appear after the  #include directives for the normal C++ include files. • If we had them in the opposite order, you'd get a compiler error. So make sure that the include files for the standard C++ stuff appear before the include files for OpenGL. Correct ERROR

  30. Compiling and Running the Test Program • Whew! We've finished setting up OpenGL. • Now we're ready to learn how to program in 3D.
