    copy double buffers

    Hi,

    I have a double buffers device context. In some situations, I want to copy the contents in the front buffer to the back buffer, then add some minor rendering to the back buffer and finally call SwapBuffers(). Does OpenGL has such a copy buffer command? Please help. Thanks.

    (The reason for this is that my 3rd part software is rendering first then call a callback function provided by me)

    Re: copy double buffers

    glReadBuffer(GL_FRONT);
    glCopyPixels(0, 0, width, height, GL_COLOR);

    but I think there is a better solution to what you are looking for.

    an open source GLU replacement library. Much more modern than GLU.
    float matrix[16], inverse_matrix[16];
    glhLoadIdentityf2(matrix);
    glhTranslatef2(matrix, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0);
    glhRotateAboutXf2(matrix, angleInRadians);
    glhScalef2(matrix, 1.0, 1.0, -1.0);
    glhQuickInvertMatrixf2(matrix, inverse_matrix);
    glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation1, 1, FALSE, matrix);
    glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation2, 1, FALSE, inverse_matrix);
