Displaying only 1 triangle of a display list

[jvff]

Hello,
I'm trying to load a model (very simple, just 2 triangles) and show it on screen. When I convert the data into a display list it's only displaying 1 of the triangles. After debugging it I found no errors, all the data is set, the drawing is putting the correct coordinates, etc. Can someone help me figure it out?

ThanX in advance,

I had a quick look at your code. It could be your draw routine:

void draw()
{
int index = getDrawable();

glRotatef(angleX, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(angleY, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(angleZ, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glCallList(index);
glEnd();
}

What you are trying to do here is draw triangle primitives (GL_TRIANGLES). For this you need 3 points for each trinagle (3 for the first, 3 for the second etc).

Perhaps what you need to do is use the GL_TRIANGLE_LIST primitive. I believe that the triangles in your display list are in this format ?? This requires 3 points for the first triangle, and 1 additional point for each triangle after that.

Does this solve it?

Well, actually I found a way around it. I made an array of the lists' indexes and the called

glCallLists(array, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, num_of_lists);

ThanQ for your reply :-)
