Hello All,
I hope someone can help me. I am trying to build a 3D modeling application and am having trouble getting my different views to work correctly.
At first, I tried creating four separate windows with separate gl RCs, but I had problems when I would click the mouse in one viewport, i would get a different point in the others.
before I go back to that and try to see what I was doing wrong, I decided to try using multiple viewports (i.e. multiple calls to glViewport) and see how that goes as all of the stuff i have read seems to imply that this is how max and maya do it themselves.
so, I got the different viewports set up correctly, but now my mouse click code does not work and i don’t really see how I should go about fixing it.
Does anybody know of a tutorial or book that goes into multiple viewports in some depth?
I need to know how I interact with the different viewports. Do I have to figure out what viewport I am in before I use gluUnProject? Should I be using gluUnProject at all?
If someone could tell me what I need to do to get multiple viewports and then be able to click in each viewport and have that point be regeistered correctly, I would greatly appreciated.
Even if you could just give m a keyword or somethign that I am missing so I know where to look.
I have tried searching through the mailing lists, but could not find anything.
I would find people who wnated to know how to use multiple viewports, but they never discussed mouse interaction and i wonder how they all fared later on.
I am using Qt for my GUI toolkit and don’t think that is the problem. I am writing on Linux, but I had the same problems under windows as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
