PROGRAMMING HOMEPAGE

This page is intended to be your one-stop resource for programming in this course.
-- Please help us to keep up to date with your suggestions!

ACF SciVis Lab
-- Useful SciVis Lab Information for this class.
-- Official ACF Scientific Computing and Visualization Homepage

DIRECTORIES
-- All the examples (and more) from Angel's book can found in my directory at ~yap/class/angel/ on SciVis and here in the CS machines. (You can also download it from University of New Mexico yourself.)
-- The jello demo can be found in /usr/demos/WorkShop/jello.
-- Several demos, including puzzle can be found in /usr/share/src/OpenGL/demos/puzzle.

INTERNET LINKS :
-- including the references and tutorials for OpenGL/GLUT.

IRIX
-- The online reference manuals on IRIX is called "insight" (type this at the unix prompt).
-- Insight have both [Manual] and [Guide], the two standard references for OpenGL.

PROGRAMMING IN C
-- Note that on the SGI's the preferred C compiler is cc from SGI (not gcc than many of you may be familiar with).
-- We recommend that you begin by using the simple Makefile from Angel's directory (above). It can get more elaborate as your project grows in complexity.

PROGRAMMING IN GLUT
-- Here is a skeleton file for glut programs: glutskel.c
-- Using GLUT FONTS can be tricky, so this example may be useful: stroke.c

PROGRAMMING IN WIN95/NT
-- We can now accept homework done in this environment!
-- Here are some information.
