Colored Lines Problem

Posted Sunday, 26 September, 2010 - 05:56 by APXEOLOG in

HI! I added some selecting abilities in my program? and now i have some problems with drawing colored lines (when i draw selection square)

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);
 
            GL.ClearColor(Color.Black);
            GL.Enable(EnableCap.Texture2D);
            GL.Enable(EnableCap.DepthTest);
            GL.Enable(EnableCap.CullFace);
 
            GL.Hint(HintTarget.PerspectiveCorrectionHint, HintMode.Fastest);
        }
 
 protected override void OnRenderFrame(FrameEventArgs e)
        {
 
            GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit);
 
            Matrix4 lookat = Matrix4.LookAt(x, 300, y + 50.0f, x, 0, y, 0, 1, 0);
            GL.MatrixMode(MatrixMode.Modelview);
            GL.LoadMatrix(ref lookat);
 
            for (.... j loop)
                for (.... i loop)
                {
                    GL.BindTexture(TextureTarget.Texture2D, tex[i, j]]);
                    GL.Begin(BeginMode.Quads);
                    GL.TexCoord2(...);
                    GL.Vertex3(...);
                    GL.TexCoord2(...);
                    GL.Vertex3(...);
                    GL.TexCoord2(...);
                    GL.Vertex3(...);
                    GL.TexCoord2(...);
                    GL.Vertex3(...);          
                    GL.End(); 
 
                    if (currentCell == selectedCell)
                    {
                        GL.Disable(EnableCap.Texture2D);
                        GL.Begin(BeginMode.LineLoop);
 
                        GL.Color3(Color.Red);
                        GL.Vertex3(...);
                        GL.Vertex3(...);
                        GL.Vertex3(...);
                        GL.Vertex3(...);
 
                        GL.End();
                        GL.Enable(EnableCap.Texture2D);   
 
                    }
               }
            SwapBuffers();
     }

My screen after selection is red (see screenshot)
Any ideas?

I think the problem is that you set the color for unselected like this:

for (.... i loop)
                {
                    GL.BindTexture(TextureTarget.Texture2D, tex[i, j]]);
                    GL.Begin(BeginMode.Quads);
                    GL.Color3(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f); // New line of code
                    GL.TexCoord2(...);
 
                 ..............

Regards, ...

Hm, no, i have only one GL.Color3 in if() block. Also that's ok without Color line, selection has white color...

Did you actually try what migueltk said? As that's most likely your problem, even if you may in the end solve it differently for performance reasons.

The thing to remember is that OpenGL is a state machine: you set the color and it "sticks" until you change it. It doesn't matter that the color is set to red inside an if-statement. Once that branch is taken, all subsequent vertices will be tinted red unless you reset them.

Migueltk has provided the correct solution.
