actually i’m doing a radar display system… i have to prprint strings on the screen… but i dont know how to do this… can u plz guide me how to do so.
hey ppl i need to print an array of strings using opengl. can u tell me the command to so…
i know only 1 command -> glBitmapCharacter() to print a single character at a time… but my prob is to print a dynamic array of strings like
char **string={“hi”,“hello”,“fine”);
can u plz tell me the command to do so… it will be a tedious job to do so using the above command… cos my string is also generated at runtime only…
The GLUT libraries have string printing functions. Have a look there and re-post if you need more help.
i’m not able to find any such libraries… can u plz tell me any such library so that i can search them on net.
i got something from net as shown below which can be helpful to me… but its not recognized by my system… i have fedora core 3… may be it has a old version of opengl… can u tell me where to download its new version.
the below mentioned header file is also not recognized…
#include <gl\glaux.h>
GLvoid glPrint(const char *fmt, …) // Custom GL “Print” routine
{
char text[256]; // Holds our string
va_list ap; // Pointer to list of arguments
if (fmt == NULL) // If there's no text
return; // Do nothing
va_start(ap, fmt); // Parses the string for variables
vsprintf(text, fmt, ap); // And converts symbols to actual numbers
va_end(ap); // Results are stored in text
glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT); // Pushes the display list bits
glListBase(base - 32); // Sets the base character to 32
glCallLists(strlen(text), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, text); // Draws the display list text
glPopAttrib(); // Pops the display list bits
}et…

It’s a little buggy with centered/right-aligned text, and not massively efficient, but it’s easy enough to use.
