How to use glDrawTex*

kend0g187 · 04-27-2011, 04:51 PM

I'm new to OpenGL. I want to take a .png image and use it as the background for my GLView. I've heard that glDrawTex* was the best way, but I've searched the internet and haven't found a single example of how to use it (at least not one that has worked for me). Any help? Thanks.

OpenGL is a very complex topic. If you're trying to learn it, I would suggest buying a book on OpenGL ES (the version used in iOS) and reading it.

Ideally, get a book about OpenGL ES for iPhone.

I've done a fair amount of OpenGL in Mac OS, but haven't tackled it in iOS yet, so I can't recommend any books, nor can I give you specific help on OpenGL for iPhone.
