glut has a function to draw spheres:
void glutSolidSphere(GLdouble radius, GLint slices, GLint stacks);
void glutWireSphere(GLdouble radius, GLint slices, GLint stacks);

no problem,

look into:

void gluSphere(
GLUquadricObj * qobj,
GLdouble radius,
GLint slices,
GLint stacks
);

(from the glu library)

I can't remember of the top of my head how to use it, but I've just looked at some Delphi code of mine so here's a (hopefully correct) c++ translation:

gluQuadricObjs Sphere;
gluQuadricDrawStyle(Sphere, GLU_FILL);
gluQuadricNormals(Sphere, GLU_SMOOTH);
gluSphere(Sphere, 5.0, 16, 16);

I hope this helps you out.

Barry.

Bezzant - You're damn right about NeHe. Jeff has been working his ass off for the community. Helping others whilst expecting nothing in return. Then along come these dickheads who can do nothing but bitch about him and moan because he hasn't personally handed them the moon on a fucking stick. If these people don't have anything constructive to offer Jeff for his site they should fuck off and stay under their stones.
