OpenGL Texture Mapping Example

Overview

This project demonstrates basic texture mapping using OpenGL. It creates a checkered texture with custom patterns and applies it to a 2D quad. The texture is generated dynamically and displayed on the screen.

Features

• Dynamic Texture Generation: Creates a checkered image with custom patterns.
• Texture Mapping: Applies the generated texture to a 2D quad.
• OpenGL Rendering: Utilizes OpenGL for rendering the textured quad with basic transformations.

Usage

• Display Texture: The program will automatically display the textured quad when run.
• Exit: Close the window.

Results

Below is an example of the texture mapped onto a quad:

Code Structure

• main(): Initializes OpenGL, sets up the display, and starts the main loop.
• init(): Configures OpenGL settings, generates the texture, and loads it into memory.
• makeCheckImage(): Generates a custom checkered texture pattern.
• display(): Renders the textured quad on the screen.
• reshape(): Adjusts the viewport and projection matrix when the window is resized.

Dependencies

• OpenGL: 3D rendering library
• GLUT: Utility toolkit for OpenGL
• GLAUX: Additional utilities for OpenGL
