Learning OpenGL• OpenGL Red Book is what everyone learns from• Available online for free as a PDF, also lots of tutorials• OpenGL is beautifully designed and super easy to learn• It is not convoluted and tricky like Xlib• Simple things are simple• Optimisation and tricky things are still possible• Supports primitive rendering, shading, textures, depthbuffering, 2D and 3D projections, linear transformations,and display lists• Everything you need to write both 2D and 3D applications• X supports 2D primitives and windowing, that’s about it30 Wayne Piekarski Wearable Computer Lab CIS @ UniSA http://www.tinmith.net/lca2005lca 2005
