Display Image

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Hi;

How is it possible to display an image file like JPG, PNG, GIF in openGL? I am trying to apply following approach without success
  • With the use of DEVil (OpenIL) “ILboolean ilLoadImage(const char *FileName)” function which is supposed to load various types of images. I don’t know where it loads the image data, how to use glDrawPixel to draw the image.

is there any other way to display image file with openGL?

Best,

DevIL is IMO one of the simplest library for image loading. Did you at least, make the effort to read the documentation? I am pretty sure you did not.

Look, there are also tutorials:
