In previous chapters we have seen how to create 2d objects, apply effects to it, and transform the object. This chapter teaches you how to draw a line with 3rd dimension, and some shapes.

Let us draw a simple line with z-axis and see the difference between 2D and 3D lines. Draw a simple line first, then draw the second line 3 units into the window.

Let us go through the program to draw a 3D line −

import javax.media.opengl.GL2;
import javax.media.opengl.GLAutoDrawable;
import javax.media.opengl.GLCapabilities;
import javax.media.opengl.GLEventListener;
import javax.media.opengl.GLProfile;
import javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas;
import javax.media.opengl.glu.GLU;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
   
public class Line3d implements GLEventListener {
   private GLU glu = new GLU();
	
   @Override
   
   public void display( GLAutoDrawable drawable ) {
      final GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
      gl.glTranslatef( 0f, 0f, -2.5f );
      gl.glBegin( GL2.GL_LINES );
      gl.glVertex3f( -0.75f,0f,0 );
      gl.glVertex3f( 0f,-0.75f, 0 );
      gl.glEnd();
      
      //3d line
      gl.glBegin( GL2.GL_LINES );
      gl.glVertex3f( -0.75f,0f,3f );// 3 units into the window
      gl.glVertex3f( 0f,-0.75f,3f );
      gl.glEnd();
   }
   
   @Override
   public void dispose( GLAutoDrawable arg0 ) {
      //method body
   }
   
   @Override
   public void init( GLAutoDrawable arg0 ) {
      // method body
   }
   
   @Override
   public void reshape( GLAutoDrawable drawable, int x, int y, int width, int height ) {
	
      GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
      
      if( height <= 0 )
         height = 1;
			
      final float h = ( float ) width / ( float ) height;
      gl.glViewport( 0, 0, width, height );
      gl.glMatrixMode( GL2.GL_PROJECTION );
      gl.glLoadIdentity();
		
      glu.gluPerspective( 45.0f, h, 1.0, 20.0 );
      gl.glMatrixMode( GL2.GL_MODELVIEW );
      gl.glLoadIdentity();
   }
   
   public static void main( String[] args ) {
	
      //getting the capabilities object of GL2 profile
      final GLProfile profile = GLProfile.get( GLProfile.GL2 );
      GLCapabilities capabilities = new GLCapabilities(profile);
          
      // The canvas
      final GLCanvas glcanvas = new GLCanvas( capabilities );
      Line3d line3d = new Line3d();
      glcanvas.addGLEventListener( line3d );
      glcanvas.setSize( 400, 400 );
       
      //creating frame
      final JFrame frame = new JFrame (" 3d line");
          
      //adding canvas to it
      frame.getContentPane().add( glcanvas );
      frame.setSize(frame.getContentPane().getPreferredSize() );
      frame.setVisible( true );
   }//end of main
	
}//end of class

When you compile and execute the above program, the following output is generated −

3D Line

3D shapes can be drawn by giving non-zero values to z quadrant of the glVertex3f() method, which generates the above view. Now joining the remaining lines will lead to a 3D edge.

Now in the same way let us develop an edge with 3rd dimension.

3D Edge

In the same way, by developing 3D edges to corresponding sides of any 2D quadrilateral and joining the adjacent vertices, you can get a 3D quadrilateral.

The predefined parameters of glBegin() method can be used for drawing 3D shapes.
