projection problems using agl

hey there...
i'm using the latest version of agl (from apple dev site) on a g3 9.0.4....
the code i'm using was lifted from some stuff i did on windows....
it works fine on that os.....
however i use agl on the mac...and i have my own event loop....i don't use any of the opengl callback stuff.....
i cannot seem to get projection going...
i just keep getting a blank screen...
it's only when i keep my cube translations near the origin that i see anything but it appears more orthogonal than anything else...
can anyone see anything wrong with my perspective set up + drawing code?????
any help would be greatly appreciated......
thanks

C_grexOpenGLTestMacApp::Reshape(int i_w, int i_h)
{
//set up viewport
glViewport(0, 0, i_w, i_h);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

//////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Setup projection matrix.
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
float lf_ar = (float) i_w / (float) i_h;
gluPerspective(45.0, lf_ar, 1.0, 425.0);

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

}

bool
C_grexOpenGLTestMacApp::Render(void)
{
//mptr_ctx is a member of this class and has been inited fine
if(aglSetCurrentContext(mptr_ctx) == GL_FALSE)
return false;

//clear buffers
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

//
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();

//draw
glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, -300.0);

//draw a wire cube
auxWireCube(10.0);
auxSolidSphere(6.0f);

glPopMatrix();

glFlush();
//swap buffers
aglSwapBuffers(mptr_ctx);

return true;
}

try this in your reshape method ...

int iv_rect = {0, 0, i_w, i_h);
aglIntegerv(AGL_SWAP_RECT, iv_rect);

adios dariusz

thanks for the reply...
i put the following code at the end of my reshape method


aglEnable(mptr_ctx, AGL_SWAP_RECT);
GLint iv_rect[4] = {0, 0, i_w, i_h};
aglSetInteger(mptr_ctx, AGL_SWAP_RECT, iv_rect);

//just being paranoid
aglUpdateContext(mptr_ctx);

this unfortunately has no effect on the result.....
i'm passing the following params to set up a pixel format for that context...

GLint lia_attr[5] = {
AGL_RGBA, //RGBA pixel format
AGL_DOUBLEBUFFER, //double buffered pixel formats are considered
AGL_DEPTH_SIZE, //depth buffer of size 16
16,
AGL_NONE //attributes must be terminated by this value
};

this is really annoying.....
and i can't see what it is i'm doing wrong here....
thanks...

forgive me...
i'm an idiot.....
i forgot to set the context before i called my reshape method at initilisation...
problems are always in the most obvious place and the most obvious place is the last place you look....
thanks darius for your help.....
