Sample text
For example, glColor*() stands for all variations of the command you use to set the current color. If we want to make a specific point about one version of a particular command, we include the suffix necessary to define that version. For example, glVertex*v() refers to all the vector versions of the command you use to specify vertices. OpenGL as a State Machine OpenGL is a state machine, particularly if you’re using the fixed-function pipeline. You put it into various states (or modes) that then remain in effect until you change them.
I’d also like to thank ACM/SIGGRAPH, Afrigraph, Seagraph, and SGI for the ample opportunities to talk about OpenGL to wonderful audiences worldwide. Brad Grantham, who’s been willing to help out with all my OpenGL escapades, deserves special thanks. A couple of friends who deserve special mention are Eric England and Garth Honhart. The biggest thanks goes to those I love most: Vicki, my folks, and Squiggles, Phantom, and Toby. They continue to make me more successful than I ever imagined. —DRS And for the fifth edition: First and foremost, a tremendous thanks goes to Vicki, my wife, who patiently waited the countless hours needed to finish this project, and to the rest of my family: Phantom, Toby, Bonnie, and Bob.
OpenGL-Related Libraries” describes sets of OpenGL-related routines, including a detailed introduction to GLUT (Graphics Library Utility Toolkit), a portable toolkit. • “Animation” explains in general terms how to create pictures on the screen that move. • “OpenGL and Its Deprecation Mechanism” describes which changes deprecation brought into the latest version(s) of OpenGL, how those changes will affect your applications, and how OpenGL will evolve in the future in light of those changes.
