C tutorials, C and C news, and information about the C IDE Visual Studio from the Microsoft C team. Accurate information can be the difference between life and death during a hurricane. So FEMA has launched a new webpage in an effort to debunk rumors that people. GL tutorial. Today, we are going to learn how to create a Window using Open. GL, GLUT The Open. GL Utility and GLEW. But first, let me give you a brief rundown of GLUT and Open. GL, this is after all, your first time working with them both, and you must have some idea at least about Open. GL if you want to learn it. Open. GLOpen. GL, also known as the Open Graphics Library, is a library designed for cross platform 3. D graphics. It is directly, the only competitor to Direct. D in the Direct. X library. Open. GL is also hardware accelerated, just like Direct. D, and both of these libraries are the main focus for graphics card performance.

GL Utility, is a tool which allows the creation of windows and handling of input on multiple systems. Making Open. GL cross platform and extremely simple to set up. Unfortunately, the original GLUT is no longer being developed, but dont worry, there is a remake of GLUT called Free. GLUT, which even works with the original GLUT dll files and is exactly the same to use.

GL Extension Wrangler, and gives us easy to use calls to Open. GL extensions, without us having to declare the dll entry points, which while are documented and are on the internet, is still a pain, and a waste of time, when you have a library designed for this.

Now that you know a little bit about them both, why dont we actually get to using them That is after all, why you are here. Downloads. First off you are going to need to download Free. GLUT http freeglut. GLEW http glew. Once you have them both, follow their installation instructions, which are fairly simple. In short, find the lib and include folders for your current Visual Studio installation for VC, not for VC, and put the required files in each folder. Then find your System. Sys. WOW6. 4 folder, and put the required dll files in them. Visual Studio Project Configuration. Then you are going to want to open Visual Studio all these tutorials have been written in the latest Visual Studio 2. New Project. From the project selection list, find and click on Win. Console Application. You should then be prompted with a setup wizard, click on Next and tick Empty Project, and press Finish. You should now have an empty Win. Go to your project properties, and under Configuration Properties Linker, click on Input and add two additional dependencies. Add glew. 32. lib and freeglut. Visual Studio should now be configured for us to start learning Open. GL. Coding. And finally, lets get on to some coding. First, start a new C file in your project, you can call it whatever you like, but I always like to call my first file main. Im just so original Inside your cpp file, you will want to first of all, include the header files for GLUTFree. GLUT and Open. GL. Which after you have entered them, will look something like include Include the GLEW header file. Include the GLUT header file. And then create your standard main method, something like int main void. If this compiles, then you have your header files setup correctly. Congratulations GLUTNow its time to actually start using GLUT and get a window appearing. The first thing we will want to do is redefine our main method, this is because all of our GLUT calls will be done in this method, and these parameters are required by GLUT. Change the declaration of your main method to int main int argc, char rgv. The parameters argc and argv allow us to add command line arguments, and are required when we initialize GLUT. So now we initialize GLUT, which is done like so glut. Init argc, argv Initialize GLUT. After we have initialized GLUT, we need to tell it how we want to setup our window. Here we tell GLUT if we want one or two buffers, if we want an alpha channel, if we want depth and stencil buffers, etc. Lets start off simple, and go with the most basic, GLUTSINGLE which will give us a single buffered window. Init. Display. Mode GLUTSINGLE Set up a basic display buffer only single buffered for now. Next, we need to set the size and the position on the screen for our GLUT window glut. Init. Window. Size 5. Set the width and height of the window. Init. Window. Position 1. Set the position of the window. And finally, we create our window and give it a titlecaption glut. Create. Window Your first Open. GL Window Set the title for the window. This is going good, we now have a window of the size and position we want, and this should compile and display if you would like to test it I know I did. Testing your code often is a great habit to get into. I have known a lot of people to write a lot of code, compile it, and then not know where to start debugging. Even if all you are doing is checking for compilation errors, its good to fix these up early. Once you run this, you will have a window appear with a console window behind it, and it will then disappear as your application would have run out of code and have exited. So now we have a couple more methods to set up before GLUT opens a window, and then keeps it open. The first of these things, is we want to tell GLUT what method will store our code for drawing, so that GLUT can then call on it when needed. As per a lot of Open. GL tutorials, I am going to use a method called display, as I have picked up the habit. You can call this anything you like, but it has to be declared like such void display void. Once we have a method we can use to do our drawing, we need to actually tell GLUT to use this method. To do so, we make a call to glut. Display. Func and pass in our display method, this is done inside of our main method after we create our window. Display. Funcdisplay. Now that GLUT knows what method to use for drawing, all we have to do is tell GLUT to enter its Main loop. This is just a giant loop that continues forever, whilst calling the display, idle, keyboard, mouse and any other call back methods. So in code, it looks theoretically something like while running. And while this loop is going, so is your application. So to start it, call glut. Main. Loop. If you choose to run this, your window will stay open, but your window doesnt have any Open. GL calls in it yet. So to show that Open. GL is working, lets fill in a basic display method. To do this, we will first set the colour we want the window background to be. We do this with the call to gl. Clear. Color, which takes in 4 float parameters, each one referring to a colour, and in the other red, green, blue, alpha. So add this line to your display function, and we should get a nice red background gl. Clear. Color1. f, 0. Clear the background of our window to red. Now that we have the background colour set, lets get into the habit of some cleaning up in Open. GL. Every time this display method is called in our loop, it adds on to what is currently stored in Open. GLs giant state machine. So we need to clean this out, and reset it. We will reset the colour buffer, so that we get our red background every time, and we will load the identity matrix, so all our drawing starts at the same location as the previous time this method was called gl. Clear GLCOLORBUFFERBIT Clear the colour buffer more buffers later on. Load. Identity Load the Identity Matrix to reset our drawing locations. DLL Tutorial For Beginners. WEBINAR On demand webcast. How to Boost Database Development Productivity on Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes with Microsoft SQL Server 2. REGISTER I was trying to learn DLLs and nothing was really explaining anything it was just code for you to look at and wonder what was going on. For this article, I assume you know how to use the features of your compiler, such as setting directory paths and such. To set up the project, select Win. Console Application, and on the advanced tab, select DLL and empty project options. DLLs are not as hard as you might think they are. First, make your header file call this DLLTutorial. This file is like any other header file in that it has function prototypes. DLLTUTORIALH. DLLTUTORIALH. DLLEXPORT. define DECLDIR declspecdllexport. DECLDIR declspecdllimport. DECLDIR int Add int a, int b. DECLDIR void Function void. The first two lines instruct the compiler to include this file only once. The extern C tells the compiler that it is okay to use this in C or C. There are two ways of exporting functions in VC Use declspec, a Microsoft specific keyword. Create a Module Definition File. DEF. The first way is a tad bit easier to do than the second, but both work just fine. DLL. I defined DECLDIR to do this function when the linedefine DLLEXPORTis defined, but also import the functions if the linedefine DLLEXPORTis not present in the source files. In this case, you will export the functions Addint a, int b and Function. Now, you need to make a source file that youll call DLLTutorial. DLLTutorial. h. DLLEXPORT. DECLDIR int Add int a, int b. DECLDIR void Function void. DLL Called lt lt std endl. This is where you define all of your functions. Int Addint a, int b simply adds two numbers and void Functionvoid just informs you that your DLL was called. Before I show you how to use the DLL, I want to tell you about the Module Definition File. Module Definition File. A module definition file is a text file with a. It is used to export the functions of a DLL, much like declspecdllexport, but the. Microsoft specific. There are only two required sections in a. LIBRARY and EXPORTS. Take a look at a basic. Ill explain. LIBRARY dlltutorial. DESCRIPTION our simple DLL. The first line, LIBRARY, is one of the required sections. This tells the linker what to name your DLL. The next section labeled DESCRIPTION is not required, but I like to put it in. It writes the string into the. MSDN and it tells people who might use the DLL what it does or what its for. The next section labeled EXPORTS is the other required section this section makes the functions available to other applications and it creates an import library. When you build the project, not only is a. In addition to the previous sections, there also are four other sections labeled NAME, STACKSIZE, SECTIONS, and VERSION. I will not cover these in this tutorial. Internet, I think youll find something. One more thing A semicolon starts a comment, as does in C. Now that you have created your DLL, you need to learn how to use it in an application. When the DLL was built, it created a. Implicit Linking. There are two ways to load a DLL one way is the easy route and the other is more complicated. The easy route is just linking to your. So, create a new Empty Win. Console project and add a source file. Put the DLL you made in the same directory as your new project. DLLTutorial. h. Add3. You must link to the DLLTutorial. I did it in Project Settings, but you could usepragma commentlib, DLLTutorial. Please note that I set the compiler to look into my DLL folder for the. DLL header. If you dont want to do this, you can always put them in the directory with your new project and use quotes instead of lt. Thats how you load a DLL the easy way. Explicit Linking. The harder way to load a DLL is a little bit more complicated. You will need function pointers and some Windows functions. But, by loading DLLs this way, you do not need the. DLL, only the DLL. Ill list some code and then explain it. Add. Funcint,int. Function. Func. Add. Func Add. Func. Function. Func Function. Func. HINSTANCE h. Inst. Library Load. LibraryDLLTutorial. Inst. Library. Add. Func Add. FuncGet. Proc. Addressh. Inst. Library, Add. Function. Func Function. FuncGet. Proc. Addressh. Inst. Library. Function. Add. Func. std cout lt lt 2. Add. Func2. 3, 4. Function. Func. Function. Func. Free. Libraryh. Inst. Library. std cout lt lt DLL Failed To Load lt lt std endl. The first thing youll notice is that you included the file windows. DLLTutorial. h. The reason is simply because Windows. Windows functions and you will need only a few right now. It also contains some Windows specific variables that you will use. You can remove the DLLs header file DLLTutorial. Ive stated before, you dont need it when you load DLLs this way. The next thing youll notice is an odd looking piece of code in the form of typedef int dd. Funcint,int. typedef void unction. Func. Those are function pointers. Because this is a tutorial about DLLs, an in depth look at function pointers is out of the scope of this tutorial so, for now just think of them as aliases for the functions the DLL contains. I like to name them with the word Func attached on the end. The int,int part is the parameters that the function takes for example, the Add function takes in two ints therefore, you need those as the parameters for the function pointer. The Function function takes no parameters, so you can leave that blank. The first two lines in main are the function pointers being declared so that you can set them equal to the functions inside the DLL. I just like to define them beforehand. An HINSTANCE is a Windows dat type that is a handle to an instance in this case, that instance will be the DLL. You get the instance of the DLL by using the Load. Library function it takes in a name as the parameter. After the call to Load. Library, you must check to see whether the function succeeded. You can do so by checking whether the HINSTANCE is equal to NULL defined as 0 in Windows. Windows. h includes. If it is equal to NULL, the handle is not valid, and you must free the library. In other words, you must free up the memory that the DLL was taking up. If the function succeeded, your HINSTANCE contains the handle to the DLL. Once you have the handle to the DLL, you now can retrieve the functions from the DLL. To do that, you must use the Get. Proc. Address function, which takes in as parameters the handle to the DLL you can use the HINSTANCE and the name of the function. You set the function pointers to contain the value returned by Get. Proc. Address and you must cast Get. Proc. Address to the function pointer that you defined for that function. For example, for the Add function, you must cast Get. Proc. Address to Add. Func this is so that it knows the parameters and return type. Now, it would be wise to make sure that the function pointers are not equal to NULL and that they hold the functions of the DLL. That is just a simple if statement if one of them does equal NULL, you must free the library as mentioned above.
