OpenGL Programming 1 (T4-CHOICE)<../h1> The OpenGL Programming 1 course helps applications programmers master graphics programming using OpenGL. Students will learn to view and model in 3D, to create colored lit wire frame and solid geometry, in motion, under interactive control from input devices.

Topics<../h2> This course covers these topics:

• 2-D Viewing and Modeling
  
• 3-D Viewing and Modeling
  
• Animation
  
• Color (including Alpha Operations)
  
• Input and Window Events
  
• Display Lists
  
• Text
  
• Hidden Surface Removal
  
• Anti-Aliasing
  <../UL>

  Objectives<../h2> Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to...

  • Write programs with the OpenGL graphics interface to draw 3-D, colored, anti-aliased or alpha blended, wire frame and solid geometry, in motion, under interactive control from the mouse and keyboard.
    <../UL>

    Prerequisites<../h2> This course is intended for...

    • Programmers who will be writing graphics applications with OpenGL
      
    • Students who are familiar enough with UNIX, so that they can manipulate directories and edit files
      
    • Students who understand matrices and mathematical operations which can be performed on them. C or FORTRAN programming skills are necessary and will be used in class.
      <../UL> Note: The student is over qualified if he../she can write programs with OpenGL which display 3-D, z-buffered, Gouraud shaded, alpha-blended objects in motion.<../i>

      Course Details<../h2> Duration<../B>: 4.5 days

      Format<../B>: Instructor Led (Lecture../Lab)

      Platforms<../B> Covered<../B>: Applicable to all OpenGL licensees, including Silicon Graphics IRIS workstations, Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, MicroSoft, and many others.
