how can i display a pixmap to the screen using glDrawPixels

Hi, i’m kind of new to opengl. I’m wonder if any can help me on this problem.

first i used the function:
Texture = auxDIBImageLoad(pFilename);

to load an “name.bmp” picture to Texture
then i try to use the Texture data to display directly to the screen with this function:

glRasterPos2i (50,50); // starting point to draw the data
glDrawPixels (Texture->sizeX, Texture->sizeY, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, Texture->data);

The result output did display the picture i created in paint. Can anyone help please

I am not sure what your problem is.

I have my own BMP loader/writer and a testing code to view a BMP using glDrawPixels(). First, take a look at the source code how I did.
imageBmp.zip

If you still have troubles, please post the problem once again.

Thank you so much, it is all clear now thank
May i ask u a question?
Where do u get all the information of the bmp structure at? is there a possible place i can locate most of the structure of different picture format? Like jpg,png, etc.

www.wotsit.org has information about many common file formats.
