This function is pretty big, in the interest of space, here is a
link to a site that shows how it is done. This site also goes over
the stuff mentioned here in more detail about creating the
project.

The previously mentioned functions and
variables will allow you to use OpenGL with
your project once they are added.
This code below must also be added to your
OnDraw function to get the render context.
//openGL code
CRect rcClient;
GetClientRect(rcClient);
Adding OpenGL initialization code
The following code can be added to your OnDraw
function.
//openGL code
glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluOrtho2D(0.0, width, 0.0, height);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
Adding OpenGL Libraries
Adding OpenGL Libraries (Paths)
Adding OpenGL Libraries (Paths)
Creating a mouse event
afx_msg void OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags,
CPoint point); //added to header file
ON_WM_LBUTTONDOWN() //added to
message map at top of cpp file
void CCssample1View::OnLButtonDown(UINT
nFlags, CPoint point) {
//code to be exectud when Lbutton is pressed
down
}
Drawing with OpenGL
glBegin(GL_LINES);
glVertex3d(100, height-100, 0); //height-100 is to make sure point is
actually at 100, 100. It actually starts at bottom left of screen
glVertex3d(200, height-200, 0);
glEnd();
The above code draws a line from coordinates
(100, 100) to (200, 200).
Drawing with OpenGL
Primitives you can draw with OpenGL
glBegin(GL_LINES);
glBegin(GL_POINTS);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glBegin(GL_LINE_LOOP);
There are others, these are just a few that you
will most likely use.
Saving info to use later (Point data)
Suppose we have a right button press event
void CCssample1View::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point) {
line savedLine;
savedLine.start = start; //start variable was found with a left button press, save now
savedLine.end = point; //save the point where the right click occurred
savedLinesVector.push_back(savedLine); //save line into vector
}
//in the header file, in the class itself
struct savedLine{
CPoint start, end; //Cpoint is mfc defined type
};
vector <savedLine> savedLinesVector; //vector of type savedLine
Saving info to use later (Point data)
for(unsigned i=0; i<savedLinesVector.size(); i++){
//iterate through vector printing lines
glBegin(GL_LINES); //this can be outside for loop also,
depending on what you are doing
glVertex2d(savedLinesVector[i].start.x, savedLinesVector[i].start.y);
glVertex2d(savedLinesVector[i].end.x, savedLinesVector[i].end.y);
glEnd();
} //this will draw all lines to the screen, this is
done in the OnDraw function
Relevant Questions about
OpenGL/MFC
How do I read pixels from the screen in OpenGL?
glReadPixels(GLint x, GLint y, GLsizei width, GLsizei height, GLenum format,
GLenum type, GLvoid *data);
If you wanted to read one pixel at (100, 100):
glReadPixels(100, 100, 1, 1, GL_RGB, GL_BYTE, data);
The variable data is where the pixel information is stored
How do I change the color of pixel(s)?
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0); //red color
How do I clear the buffer?
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
What is the CPoint type?
It allows you to gain access to the x, y coordinates at a particular point. Ex:
CPoint p1; // variable p1 of type CPoint
p1.x; //x coordinate at point
p1.y; //y coordinate at point
