super imposing stuff

okay after I draw the scene... I want to fade it from scene to white... I know I haven't put the loop in yet, but I don't understand why this code doesn't draw a white square that fills up the whole screen!




glViewport(0,0,windw,windh);

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();

glOrtho(-1,1,-1,1,1,-1);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);
glLineWidth(2.0);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex3i(-1,-1,0);
glVertex3i(-1,1,0);
glVertex3i(1,1,0);
glVertex3i(1,-1,0);
glEnd();

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

after your push matrix, you forgot to call

glLoadIdentity(); So your concatenating a perpestive and an orthographic projection matrix. I don't know what that gives!? http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

gah, I thought that using glLoadIdentity(); might do something bad (ie. replcae) to the current perspective matrix... but I forgot I had pushed another one on to the stack...

I feel dumb!
