I am new to OpenGL and am learning it for the purpose of some simulation that I am doing as part of my research work. I have been following the tutorials given at http://openglbook.com/chapter-2-vertices-and-shapes.html and am using the code which draws a triangle. I am trying to add some code to it so that I can rotate the triangle using mouse upon display. I am using glTranslatef and glRotatef to achieve this. I understand that glrotate takes 4 arguments first being the angle of rotation, the last three form the vector centred at origin around which rotation is intended. I am printing captured values from my motion func and the mouse input is being captured. But my triangle is not rotating. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks! Code below.

    \$\begingroup\$ Welcome to gamedev stack exchange! As a small suggestion, when you submit code, you should try and isolate the part that you think is not working instead of submitting the whole thing. You'll be more likely to receive an answer :) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Sourav you can edit this question to simplify your code to a minimal example. Although in your case, you have posted your complete program, so it's really just a matter of helping potential answers find the important part. For example, your RenderFunction where you are attempting to rotate: perhaps include additional description of that. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$

glRotatef and glTranslatef are old functions meant for use with the fixed-function pipeline, so they don't work with opengl 4 shaders. Instead you need to create a matrix, send it to your shader, and multiply your vertices by it when setting gl_Position.

The exact process will probably be covered in one of the following tutorials on that site, so I'd recommend just continuing with them.
