Quadrics in Display Lists

Hello all!

I refer to nehe tutorials to learn quadrics and display lists.

However, when i tried to combine the two, i get an exception error running the program.

Is it such that it is not possible to combine the two at all? or am I missing something?

below is an extract of my code, hope someone can tell me what’s wrong with it… thanks alot!!

glvoid BuildLists()
{
ball = glGenLists(1);
glNewList(ball, GL_COMPILE);
gluSphere(quadratics, 1.0f,32,32);
glEndList();

}

They should work just fine when combined.
Check out http://www.ime.usp.br/~massaro/opengl/redbook/redbook-11.pdf for some example code.

this may be silly, but have you made sure that your quadrics object is initialised?

Hi, thanks for replying guys!

-NiCo- : I tried the link but somehow could not access the page. But is it from the red book? I’ll go and have a look then.

seed : I did initialise them and I could use the quadratics in other functions. Just can’t build them in display lists.

Thanks for entertaining my questions!!

Indeed. The link does not seem to be valid anymore.
