Hello,
I am working on OS X Mountain Lion and Xcode 4.6. I am using the Cocoa APIs to create my windows and handle events. I can’t seem to get a vertex buffer generated for some reason. I use NSLog() to print the value of my buffer, but it comes out as 0. Could someone please assist me? Here is my code, it is inside of a custom NSOpenGLView:
@implementation MyOpenGLView
static const GLfloat g_vertex_buffer_data[] = {
-1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f,
1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f,
0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f,
};
-(void)awakeFromNib{
NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute attrs[] =
{
NSOpenGLPFADoubleBuffer,
NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 24,
// Must specify the 3.2 Core Profile to use OpenGL 3.2
NSOpenGLPFAOpenGLProfile,
NSOpenGLProfileVersion3_2Core,
0
};
NSOpenGLPixelFormat *pf = [[[NSOpenGLPixelFormat alloc] initWithAttributes:attrs] autorelease];
if (!pf)
{
NSLog(@"No OpenGL pixel format");
}
NSOpenGLContext *context = [[[NSOpenGLContext alloc]initWithFormat:pf shareContext:nil]autorelease];
[self setPixelFormat:pf];
[self setOpenGLContext:context];
GLuint vertexBuffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(g_vertex_buffer_data), g_vertex_buffer_data, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
NSLog(@"%i",vertexBuffer);
}
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code here.
}
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect
{
glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glSwapAPPLE();
NSLog(@"drawRect: is called");
}
@end
I get a black window like expected with no errors or warning. My vertex buffer object is 0 for some reason.
