Ortho mode - what's wrong?

[Orzech]

Hello.
I've have a question about switching beetwen projection modes. The problem is that when I want to jump to the ortho mode and then draw something nothing happens. I have no idea why is that so because I've copied these lines just straight from a tutorial - look :

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX);
glPushMatrix();

glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0, Width, 0, Height, 1, -1); // Switch to ortograhpic projection

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

/* blah blah blah goes here */

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX);
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // Back to the perspective

Is there anything wrong? I don't think I've screwd up drawing of primitives...

It's GL_PROJECTION, not GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX.

Let's look at your code it seems a bit strange:

// Start
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); // not GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX
glPushMatrix(); // Save projection matrix

glLoadIdentity(); // Clear project matrix
glOrtho(0, Width, 0, Height, 1, -1); // Switch to ortograhpic projection

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // Draw matrix state unknown
// We have not use glLoadIdentity for Modelview so matrix in state of last call to draw world

/* blah blah blah goes here */

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); // Back to Projection matrix
glPopMatrix(); // Restore projection matrix from last Push command
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // Back to the perspective
// Modelview state unknown???


Is there anything wrong? I don't think I've screwd up drawing of primitives...

I don't think it is primitive problem, more a initializing the diffrent matrix modes.

Also not enought code to see if there are any other problems. post more of the display routine code.

You reversed the values for the near and far plane. Try :
glOrtho(0, Width, 0, Height, -1, 1);

try with a glLoadIdentity() instead of a push/pop matrix, and create the matrix from the blank template.


glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0, Width, 0, Height, 1, -1);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glIdentity();
// BLA BLA BLA ECT....


glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glPerspective(....);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();

// BLA BLA BLA again....



maybe you don't need the glLoadIdentity() after the glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW), but usually, the 'camera' is different from perspective views and orthographic views. That could screw up things too.

http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif Haha! Ok guys, thanks for your help but reply of Bob (first post) already solved my problem. It was just a tiny bug. I used GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX insted of GL_PROJECTION. That's all. Everthing works just fine.

Thanks
