How do I input keyboard function in OpenGL

Using Cinder
1

Hello,

I am trying to solve my OpenGL pyramid project. If anyone can please help me with a code as soon as possible.

I have to do when I build the code it will come black window After that perform the following task:

  1. F1+r = 60’ rotation(static)
  2. F2+r =45’ rotation(continuous x-axis)
  3. CTRL+w = White
  4. B = Black

Thanks for your concern and help.

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
#else
#include <GL/glut.h>

// all variables initialized to 1.0, meaning
// the triangle will initially be white
float red=1.0f, blue=1.0f, white=1.0f;

// angle for rotating triangle
float angle = 0.0f;

void changeSize(int w, int h) {

	// Prevent a divide by zero, when window is too short
	// (you cant make a window of zero width).
	if (h == 0)
		h = 1;
	float ratio =  w * 1.0 / h;

        // Use the Projection Matrix
	glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);

        // Reset Matrix

	// Set the viewport to be the entire window
	glViewport(0, 0, w, h);

	// Set the correct perspective.

Hi,

looks like this is more of a general C++ or OpenGL question, instead of a Cinder-related one. Maybe you have a better chance of getting an answer on the OpenGL forums.

In Cinder, if you want to listen to keyboard events, simply override the keyDown() and keyUp() methods of your main application class, then do something like this:

void MyApp::keyDown( KeyEvent &event )
{
    switch( event.getCode() ) {
        case KeyEvent::KEY_w:
            if( event.isControlDown() ) {
                mCurrentColor = Color::white(); // where mCurrentColor is of type ci::Color
            }
        break;
    }
}

Hi paul,

I was trying to post OpenGL forum. But new user registration baned, why? I don’t know.

Would you please correct my code, I tried that method but doesn’t work.

Sincerely,
Anup Roy

Hi Anup,

I’m happy to answer any Cinder-related questions. But I can’t help you with your non-Cinder project.

OKay Thank you Paul.
