always draw a black line

[kewuwsi]

Hi, all.

I have piece of code like this:
...................
glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
//glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glDisable(GL_LIGHTING);
glLineWidth(myWidth);

glBegin(GL_LINES);
glColor3fv(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glVertex3fv(centerPoint.getValue());
glVertex3fv(leadingPoint.getValue());
glEnd();
.................

just try to draw a white line:
The problem is, I always get a black line. Anybody know what could be the reason? anything related to the shaders I am using?

Make sure shaders are disabled.
Make sure blending is disabled.
Make sure you don't have textures enabled on any other texture unit (if you use multitexturing and you have shader disabled).

cool, disabling other textures make it work. I used glEnable(Texture2D) for every textures. Now, I removed all of them, it works just great! But could please explain why?

appreciate it !

When not using shaders, all texture units that are enabled will use their textures to affect rendered image.
So, glEnable(TEXTURE_2D) does not enable texturing in general - it enables texturing on one texture unit. Each textue unit can be "activated" or "deactivated" independently.

If you use shader, you don't have to enable textures. You only need to bind textures to texture units.
That's because in shader you read textures yourself from texture units you want.

great!, clear!
