simple cube creation using opengl Qt

What you see in the computer is Only 2D so, if you have placen the cube straight ahead you will only see a Square, To see the 3D shape probably try using

glRotatef( 45, 0, 1, 0 );


That will bring a 3D looking model ;)

Thanks for your valuble reply now i am seeing my cube in 3d manner..how to create rotating cube with time

That'd be simple, just create a variable and update it, pass it to the Rotate function.

double angle = 0.0;
glRotatef(angle, 0, 1, 0);
//Init...
angle++;


Thanks rotation is also working ..i had one doubt with out rotation ,transalation we can see only one side ..which side we can see with out ratation? and also i given green color to the top face but it is not showing green color..but remaining faces it showing different colors which are all i given in the program..some one please tell me why green is not showing..

That is because you are rotating only in the Y- direction, Try changing to Z or X direction or both.

glRotatef(angle, 1, 0, 0);
// or
glRotatef(angle. 0, 0, 1);


i tried it but i am unable to see the green color..tell me one thing with out rotation and tanslate(static cube)..which face is visible..

If the cubes not rotating , then its obvious that the front face will only be visible.

in the program i given red for front face but with out rotation it showing yellow(which is back face).sorry for irritating you.

Really? It works for me, I tried the code and the front face is red, See if you have projected the matrix properly.

could you please send me the code what ever you are trid

Source code for Qt project with OpenGL (rotating cube) that could help You is here: http://blog.lugru.co...-and-qglwidget/

Good luck.
