This is version 1.0 of P.O.T. See About.txt, License.txt files for information about P.O.T., it's licensing. DESCRIPTION This tutorial aims to teach the OpenGL programming language and hence graphics programming in a quick and easy manner. You are encouraged to refer to other tutorials available on the web on this subject matter, and refer to books on OpenGL to further increase your grasp of this subject. REQUIREMENTS To use this package you'll need: Unix/Linux: Tcl version 7.4 or later. Tk version 4.0 or later. X windows OpenGL version 1.1 or later Mesa version 2.3 or later Unix Systems Installation: If you are reading this, I am assuming you have successfully unzipped and exploded the files. 1) $> cd POT where $> is your system prompt 2) $> wish Configure.tk where $> is your system prompt The Configure.tk script will ask you a few questions regarding the paths for wish, the OGL/Mesa include files and libraries. Once you supply this information, this script will update all necessary files and exit out. You need to do this only once. Now you are ready to run POT. 3) At the command prompt type in Tutorial.tk to run POT 4) To Conserve hard drive space, I have included an UnPack, and Pack command with each chapter. Use the UnPack option to create the executables associated with each chapter. 5) Use the Pack option to delete the executables to free up disk space, when done with a chapter. DISCLAIMER I've tried to make these lessons accurate and complete enough to be useful, but I won't guarantee that I've succeeded. This code has been tested on DEC OSF1, SGI IRIX 6.3. platforms using both SGI's OpenGL and Brian Paul's Mesa.
