Must have been just as lazy in school during science class...

glColor3f( Red, Blue, Green )

Red + Blue + Green = White

1, 1, 1

wtf?

oh... you wanted white for the background colour. that's not the same as white for the foreground colour, as you keenly observed. to convert any foreground colour into a background colour you just need to subtract 1.0 from the colour values. so, the background colour for white is 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 (1.0-1.0, 1.0-1.0, 1.0-1.0). beginners often stumble over this problem.

You can set the color in which to clear to.

// R, G, B, A
glClearColor (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

No questions are stupid, when you don't know you don't know.
There are just hard questions and easier questions.

There are no stupid questions.
There are only stupid answers.

This phrase must have been invented by the most stupid and annoying person on this planet.
