how to get RGB of a particular pixel ?

[sandeep kumar]

Is there any way in Opengl(or GLUT) to get the RGB of a particukar Pixel ?

I am writing a application using setpixel and getpixel but couldnt able to find the way to get pixel color

I was looking for a similar thing yesterday, then I decided to follow a different path.

However from my searches yesterday to get pixel people are suggesting glReadPixels and to set glDrawPixels.

There are many pages on Google about these methods however I wasn't able to make it work. If you can make it work you can post your solution here too.
