This article allows ones to:
- draw an image RGB color distribution using OpenGL in a
dialog, - use OpenGL display lists,
- draw antialiased smooth colored lines,
- implement mouse interaction (rotation),
- store and load an image from resource.
We assume that our aim is to display the RGB color
distribution of the following image (Figure 1) in an interactive
way. In particular, it would be nice to display the RGB cube and
the image color cloud.
Figure 1: Our goal is to display
the RGB color distribution of this 24 bits BMP color image in an
intuitive way. OpenGL will help us.
Figure 2: Illustrates two viewpoints of the
color distribution in a dialog. The viewpoint is modifed using
the left mouse button that implements the x/y rotation, the
dialog may be resized and a popup menu allows us to load and view
the current image (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Two examples of color
distribution in the RGB cube seen under two distinct viewpoints.
In particular, the red cloud is linked to the nose of the baboon
seen in Figure 1. Notice that the lines are antialiased, each
saturated color is drawn with a sphere , and the cloud is painted
using the GL_POINTS primitive.
Figure 4: A popup menu allows to
load a 24 bits RGB image, change the OpenGL clear color (recalled
back color), and view the current image in a dialog window.
Initialization of the Rendering Engine
Following lines make the rendering engine to be initialized in a dialog.

RENDERING
The RGB cube and the cloud are rendered in two distinct display lists. The cube is a fixed part, while the color cloud is rebuild each time a new image is loaded.
