glOrtho and wacky Mouse

Hi. I’ve found lotsa info close to what I want, but what I need is very simple. I started with the SimpleJOGL program from the Netbeans template and created a virtual coordinate test program. My program will draw a rectangle and a line within the virtual system (-1000,-1000 to 15000,15000), but I can’t figure out how to get the mouse to return X,Y based on the virtual system. Currently this program returns the X,Y of the screen with 0,0 in the upper left hand corner and with lower right as 600,400. What call do I need to make to tell the mouse to return virtual coordinates in with the getX and getY?

Thanx.
Andy

Hi,

Since you have a simple glOrtho projection you can do the math yourself. You can also use gluUnproject routine do make the conversion. Search this forum to find some samples.
Hope it helps.

Turquoise - thanx for the gluUnproject help. I found an example and got it working.
