JOGL - 3D Triangle



In previous chapter we have seen how to draw 3d shapes, this chapter teaches you how to draw 3d triangle and rotate it.

Below given is the program to draw a 3d triangle an rotate it.

}

When you compile and execute the above program, the following output is generated. Here, you have the snapshots of rotating 3D triangle. Since this program does not includes depth test, the triangle is generated hollow.

Triangle 3D

To make the triangle solid, you need to enable depth test by using glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST). Enabling the depth buffer gives you a blank screen. This can be cleared by clearing the color using glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFERBIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT) method. To enable depth test in the init() method or in the glDisplay() method, write the following code −

public void init(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
   final GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
	
   gl.glShadeModel(GL2.GL_SMOOTH);
   gl.glClearColor(0f, 0f, 0f, 0f);
   gl.glClearDepth(1.0f);
   gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
   gl.glDepthFunc(GL2.GL_LEQUAL);
   gl.glHint(GL2.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL2.GL_NICEST);
 }

Below given is the Program to draw a 3D triangle with depth test.
