Draw Quads with foreach

Hi!

I have a little problem.
I want to draw Quads with foreach, but every time i use foreach, the programm draws only one (the first) quad.

I have a List with many Point Object, which stores the X and Y coordinates.

        void Application_Idle(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
                glControl1.Invalidate();
        }
 
        private void glControl1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            GL.ClearColor(Color.Green);
            GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit);
            GL.MatrixMode(MatrixMode.Modelview);
            GL.LoadIdentity();
 
            foreach(Point p in pointlist)
            {
            GL.Begin(BeginMode.Quads);
            GL.Color3(Color.White);
            GL.Vertex2(p.X, p.Y);
            GL.Vertex2(p.X+10, p.Y);
            GL.Vertex2(p.X+10, p.Y+10);
            GL.Vertex2(p.X, p.Y+10);
            GL.End();
            }
 
        }

Whats my fault?

Best regards
Symi

Ps.: Sorry for my bad english.. :)

You need to make sure these quads lie within the view frustum (i.e. don't call GL.Ortho(-1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1) and expect a quad at (2, 2)-(3, 3) to be visible).

Also, make pointlist actually contains more than one Point (set a debugger breakpoint and check its contents).

Other than these things, there's no reason why the above code wouldn't work.

Off-topic, but you can move the GL.Begin() - GL.End() pair outside the foreach, for a sizable speed increase.

PS: Your english is just fine ;)

I found it!

All points in the list were the same.

Thanks.
