NSOpenGLView and Depth Testing

I cannot get the depth test to work…it seems to work with GLUT, but not NSopenGLView…any ideas?

@implementation MyOpenGLView

// — initWithFrame: —

• (id)initWithFrame NSRect)frameRect
  {
  NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute attrs[] = {
  NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 1, // NSOpenGLPFADepthSize
  NSOpenGLPFAAccelerated, 0};
  NSOpenGLPixelFormat *pixFmt;

  pixFmt = [[NSOpenGLPixelFormat alloc] initWithAttributes:attrs];
  self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect pixelFormat ixFmt];
  return self;
  }

// — drawRect: —

• (void)drawRect NSRect)aRect
  {
  glEnable(GL_AUTO_NORMAL);
  glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE);

  glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); // bs: enabled depth testing
  glDepthFunc (GL_LESS);

  glClearColor( 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0 );// R, G, B, alpha
  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT |
  GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

  // Clear the view
  glViewport( 0,0,NSWidth([self bounds]),NSHeight([self bounds]) );

  // Set a coordinate system, and a point of view
  glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );
  glLoadIdentity();

  gluPerspective( 45, NSWidth([self bounds])/NSHeight([self bounds]), 1, 40 );// fov, aspect ratio, near clipping plane, far clipping plane

  glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );
  glLoadIdentity();
  gluLookAt( 0,0,[myController getCameraZoom], 0,0,0, 0,1,0 );

  // Rotate depending on the status of the sliders
  glRotatef( [myController getRotationX], 1,0,0 );
  glRotatef( [myController getRotationZ], 0,0,1 );

  // Draw
  [[[myController getDocument] getBoard] drawBoard];

  // Flush gl code
  glFinish();
  }
  @end

err, I have not done any OpenGL work in OSX outside of Carbon but it looks like you are ateempting to create a 1-bit depth buffer from what you posted. If that is the case I can practically guarantee that won’t work

I will try that, but it is quite odd, since these lines come directly out of th e teapot example from apple…but I will try it soon…

still doesnt work

fixed it!
in case anyone else needs help: The Buffers need to be enabled in Interface Builder (select the View and the go to the Inspector)
