Advanced Functions Igraphics

This document describes several functions for handling keyboard, mouse, and image input/output in OpenGL. These include functions for handling keyboard input on regular and special keys, mouse click, drag, and movement input, loading and rendering images, and rotating and unrotating the coordinate system. Each function is described in terms of its parameters and purpose.

Advanced Functions

void iKeyboard (unsigned char key)

Description​: called whenever the user hits a key in keyboard.

Parameters​:
key- holds the ASCII value of the key pressed.

void iSpecialKeyboard (unsigned char key)

Description​: called whenever user hits special keys like-


function keys, home, end, pg up, pg down, arrows etc. you have to
use appropriate constants to detect them. A list is:

GLUT_KEY_F1, GLUT_KEY_F2, GLUT_KEY_F3, GLUT_KEY_F4, GLUT_KEY_F5,


GLUT_KEY_F6,GLUT_KEY_F7, GLUT_KEY_F8, GLUT_KEY_F9, GLUT_KEY_F10,
GLUT_KEY_F11, GLUT_KEY_F12,GLUT_KEY_LEFT, GLUT_KEY_UP,
GLUT_KEY_RIGHT, GLUT_KEY_DOWN, GLUT_KEY_PAGE UP, GLUT_KEY_PAGE
DOWN, GLUT_KEY_HOME, GLUT_KEY_END, GLUT_KEY_INSERT

Parameters​:
key- holds the ASCII value of the key pressed.

void iMouse(int button, int state, int mx, int my)

Description​: called when the user presses/releases the mouse.


(mx, my) is the position where the mouse pointer is.

Parameters​:
button: GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON, GLUT_RIGHT_BUTTON
state: GLUT_DOWN, GLUT_UP
mx,my - coordinate of mouse pointer

void iMouseMove(int mx, int my)

Description​: called when the user presses and drags the mouse.
(mx, my) is the position where the mouse pointer is. Pressing the
mouse buttons won't have any effect here.

Parameters​:
mx,my - coordinate of mouse pointer

void iPassiveMouse(int mx, int my)

Description​: is called when the user moves the mouse. (mx, my) is
the position where the mouse pointer is.

Parameters​:
mx,my - coordinate of mouse pointer
int iLoadImage(char filename[])

Description​: returns an integer id for the image specified in


filename. The id will be used later for rendering (like file
pointer). This function needs to be invoked in the main function.
It supports png or jpeg formats unlike iShowBMP();

Parameters​:
filename[]: name of the file. The directory must be mentioned
unless the image is in the project directory.

Example:
If the image is in the folder called “image” which is inside the
project folder, we use: iLoadImage(“image\\samplepic.png);

void iShowImage(x, y, width, height, id)

Description​: render the image of specific id obtained from


previous function. Image will be rendered at (x,y) with width and
height (like iRectangle()). So you can scale the image by tweaking
width and height.

Parameters​:
x,y: coordinate of the point where the image will be placed
width,height: size of the image to scale
id: the integer value obtained from iLoadImage() call.

void iRotate(double x, double y, double degree)

Description​: Rotates the coordinate system

Parameters​:
(x, y) - The pivot point for rotation
degree - degree of rotation

void iUnRotate()

Description: ​reset the rotation made by the function iRotate();

NOTE​: After calling iRotate(), every subsequent rendering will


happen in rotated fashion. To stop rotation of subsequent
rendering, call iUnRotate().
