DT228 Graphics & Image Processing
Lab 2: More OpenGL
In this lab we see how to draw more shapes using OpenGL, play around with the
projection parameters a little bit and experiment with line width.
Task 1: Begin a new C++ Win32 Console Application Project in Visual Studio .NET
called Lab2OpenGLShapes. Set the root folder to a Graphics folder on your student
storage.
Task 2: Modify the file Lab2OpenGLShapes.cpp so that it draws a selection of
shapes.
Task 3: Before running your application put the files glut32.dll, glut32.lib and glut.h
into your project’s root folder. These files are available on the course website.
Task 4: Build and run your application! It should look like this:
Task 5: Experiment with setting the current colour before drawing each vertex in the
triangle. Can you get it to look like the following?
