Hi there,
i’m new to the forums. I just started programming openGl using Jogl. I wonder if th there is any way to make objects “clickable”. I havent found any informations on that topic yet on the net and i wonder, if anyone has some tipps for me?
Right now i just can think of the possibilty of identifying single vertices though their coordinates. But that leads me straight to my main problem: i have already made a lil application, that builds a lil net out of an datastructure. Now i want to get informations by clicking single node in the visualized 3d-data structures.
I am already able to rotate the whole 3d-model, but the translation from the x- and y-mousse-coordinates to the x- and y-coordinates is somewhat not running properly… but that is something i should be able to take care of myself soon.
My understanding of openGL gets better everyday. But i dont know any other possibilities then display-lists to “group vertices, quads etc”.
Thanx to Java, i’m kinda stuck in object orientated programming and modelling…
Any Ideas?
