1.7. More Information

Chapter 1, "Introduction to OpenGL," of OpenGL® Programming Guide complements this chapter with additional high-level OpenGL information. The OpenGL Web site, http://www.opengl.org, contains both technical and nontechnical overviews of OpenGL. Both Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice and 3D Computer Graphics contain general 3D graphics information that explains topics mentioned in this chapter, such as lighting, rasterization, texture mapping, and depth buffering.

For history buffs, OpenGL Programming for the X Window System (Kilgard 1996) contains a well-written history of OpenGL, as well as additional OpenGL overview information. This book is also the definitive programming guide and reference for GLUT.

See the book's Web site for source code that appears in the section "A Simple Example" earlier in this chapter, as well as other complete example programs. Also, the OpenGL Web site has several coding resources.
