Student Information

Description: An introduction to both the hardware and software utilized in computer graphics. The emphasis is on a top-down, programming approach, using a standard application programmer’s interface. Students will create three-dimensional and interactive applications, in addition to studying several of the classic, low-level, rendering algorithms.

Prerequisites: CS 240 and MA 110 (Linear Algebra, which is now numbered MA 160)
Co-rerequisites: CS 254 (C++ Programming)

Computing Environment:
     Win 32 and UNIX, C++ with OpenGL.  We’ll use the Graphics Library User’s Toolkit (GLUT) as our window manager.

     Running Visual C++

     Installing GLUT on a Win 32 system running Microsoft VisualStudio v6.0 or earlier:
        copy glut.h from P:\Kruse\CS330\glutFiles to C:\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL
        copy glut32.lib from P:\Kruse\CS330\glutFiles to C:\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib
        copy glut32.dll from P:\Kruse\CS330\glutFiles to C:\WINNT\system32

     Installing GLUT on a Win 32 system running Microsoft VisualStudio .NET:
        copy glut.h     from     P:\Kruse\CS330\glutFiles     to     C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\Platform SDK\include\gl
        copy glut32.lib     from     P:\Kruse\CS330\glutFiles     to    C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\lib
        copy glut32.dll     from     P:\Kruse\CS330\glutFiles     to     C:\WINDOWS\system32
 
glut.h
glut32.lib
glut32.dll
HelloWorld.cpp

To create an executable XXXX for a file XXXX.cpp, at a UNIX command prompt, type:

g++ XXXX.cpp -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lXmu -lX11  -lm  -L/academic/glut/lib/glut  -I/academic/glut/include –o XXXX
 

You might find the following useful as a UNIX makefile.  Type:

make XXXXX

where  XXXXX.cpp is the program to be compiled and the following is in a file called  Makefile

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CC = g++

LDLIBS = -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lXmu -lX11 -lm

LDDIR = -L/academic/glut/lib/glut

INCLUDEDIR = -I/academic/glut/include

%: %.cpp
        $(CC)  $@.cpp $(LDLIBS) $(LDDIR) $(INCLUDEDIR) -o $@
