GLNODE Create a GL Node
Section: OpenGL Models
Usage
Define a GL Node. A GL Node is an object that can be displayed in a GL Window. It is defined by a triangular mesh of vertices. It must also have a material that defines its appearance (i.e. color, shininess, etc.). The syntax for theglnode
command
is
glnode(name,material,pointset)
where material
is the name of a material that has already been
defined with gldefmaterial
, pointset
is a 3 x N
matrix
of points that define the geometry of the object. Note that the points
are assumed to be connected in triangular facts, with the points
defined counter clock-wise as seen from the outside of the facet.
FreeMat
will compute the normals. The name
argument must
be unique. If you want multiple instances of a given glnode
in your GLWindow, that is fine, as instances of a glnode
are
created through a glassembly
.
