Example to draw OpenGL in the 3D view of RoboDK

This example shows how to call plain OpenGL commands (2).

There are 2 ways of drawing OpenGL with RoboDK:

1. If you are using shaders you should use the default binary: C:/RoboDK/bin/RoboDK.exe. Using RoboDK with this binary allows you to use RoboDK shaders. To draw primitives such as Triangles, Lines or points you should call RDK->DrawGeometry.

2. If you are using Desktop OpenGL (no shaders), you should use the GL2 compatible binary: C:/RoboDK/bin/RoboDK-GL2.exe. This binary allows you to use PushMatrix(), MulMatrix(), PopMatrix(), GLBegin(), GLEnd(), etc.

Qt Project settings

*.pro file

The following configuration is required in the PRO file to build with support for OpenGL:

• QT += opengl
• LIBS += opengl32.lib

Run settings

You should enter the following information in the Projects-Run settings window:

• Executable: C:/RoboDK/bin/RoboDK-GL2.exe
• Arguments: -PLUGINSUNLOAD -PLUGINLOAD=%{CurrentProject:FileBaseName}
