Just like to ask if anybody knows how to display an image at a distance away from the camera view. I know image can be displayed via gluOrtho2D but that places the image at z=0. I tried using glOrtho() and glRaster3d(0,height,z) but it doesnt work. Is there any other way to display image?
Thank you.
How are you putting the image on the screen?
The best way would be having the image place on a quad as a texture.
In ortho mode, you could scale the image down as you move it away from the camara on the Z axis. To make it look like it is at a distance.
Or just draw it in perspective mode and it will be automatically adjusted as you move it back along the Z axis.

I display the image using glDrawPixel, and i want it to be the same size as the window no matter how i change my viewpoint.

Therez no way to use glDrawPixel(), glOrtho() and glRaster3i(0,height,z) at the same time?
Thanx for your reply…
Well you have the command glPixelZoom, but not sure it is what you want.
What are you trying to do?
If you want a image to be say for a background with objects in front of it, using a texture quad is still the best answer. You can resize the quad to match the window size, after a window reshape.
Also in ortho mode you can move it along the Z axis and it will still fill the screen.
As for your last question, I see no reason that you could not use them at the same time, but I don’t think it would give you the effect that you want.
