笔记：OpenGL SuperBible - First Program

// Include the "sb6.h" header file
#include "sb6.h"
// Derive my_application from sb6::application
class my_application : public sb6::application {
public:
    // Our rendering function
    void render(double currentTime) {
        // Simply clear the window with red
        static const GLfloat red[] = { 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f };
        glClearBufferfv(GL_COLOR, 0, red);
    }
};
// Our one and only instance of DECLARE_MAIN
DECLARE_MAIN(my_application);

注解：

1、函数 glClearBufferfv 原型：

void glClearBufferfv(GLenum buffer,GLint drawBuffer,
const GLfloat * value); 

glClearBufferfv() tells  OpenGL to clear the buffer specifiedby the first parameter (in this case GL _ COLOR ) to the value specified in itsthird parameter. The second parameter, drawBuffer , is used when there are multiple output buffers that could be cleared. Because we’re only using one here and drawBuffer is a zero-based index, we’ll just set it to zero in this example. 

2、currentTime：

the number ofseconds since the application was started, and we can use it to create asimple animation. 

The following example use it to change colour for clearing the window:

Animating color over time:

 // Our rendering function
void render(double currentTime) {
const GLfloat color[] = { (float)sin(currentTime) * 0.5f + 0.5f, (float)cos(currentTime) * 0.5f + 0.5f,
                                  0.0f, 1.0f };
        glClearBufferfv(GL_COLOR, 0, color);
}
