Camera movement using the stylus.
Author : sapphiron Post Date : 2005-09-28 22:02 Posts : 5	First, please sorry about my english. Second, here we go. AS you may notice, the stylus, is exaclty the same as a mouse, and when you hit the PDA screen you are just "left clicking" a position on the screen. With this basic concept I`ll try to explain you how to use the stylus for camera rotation. Part 1 - The camera Vector. OPENGL ES uses a function to move the camera ( ugluLookAtf() ), if you have learned what grant wrote, you should know that those vectors are: -> Camera Position (the position of the camera in x,y,z) -> Target Position (where you want to look at in x,y,z) -> Normal vector (we are not using this right now). We will set a default value for the first 2 vectors. code: //camera x,y,z values float xc = 1.0f; float yc = 1.0f; float zc = 0.0f; //target x,y,z values float xt=0.0f; float xy=0.0f; float xz=0.0f; : end of code Part 2 - the camera function Now we are initialice a function that will create the camera using those values. code: void camera(float xc, float yc, float zc) //we are just using the camera values { ugluLookAtf( xc, yc, zc, xt, yt, zt, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); } : end of code As you may notice, there are many ways you can set up the values, I will just change the global vars, but you can pass the float values to the function if you like (ex. void camera (float xc, flota yc, float zc, float xt, float yt, float zt) ) PART 3 : the pointer function the pointer function will take these vars: void pointer (UGWindow uwin, int button, int state, int x, int y) we need to convert the x and y position to float values, a fast way to do so, is just multiply: code: float x1 = x1.0f; float y1 = y1.0f; :end of code as you see, the x and y values are not changin. Now lets thing logically, if you have set up your screen to 250x250, you should divide that in 4 rectangles. One for the top left part of the screen, one for the top right, another for the lower left and the last one for the lower right. Now we are going to create an algoritm that recognizes what part of the screen we are touching: code: void pointer(UGWindow uwin, int button, int state, int x, int y) { float x1 = x1.0f; float y1 = y1.0f; switch (button) { case UG_BUT_LEFT : if(y1<125 && x1<125){ //top left rectangle xc=xc--; yc=yc--; reshape(uwin, w, h); //in case we have the reshape function ugPostRedisplay(uwin); break; }else if (y1>125 && x1<125){ //boton left rectangle xc=xc++; yc=yc--; reshape(uwin, w, h); ugPostRedisplay(uwin); break; }else if(y1>125 && x1>125){ //upper right xc=xc++; yc=yc++; reshape(uwin, w, h); ugPostRedisplay(uwin); break; } else if(y1<125 && x1>125){ xc=xc++; yc=yc--; reshape(uwin, w, h); ugPostRedisplay(uwin); break; } } } :end of code FINAL PART - the main function Well, now you just have to call the pointer function and thats all code: ugPointerFunc(uwin, pointer); :end of code LAST THING: Please, beware that this code is VERY buggy, it does work, but it obviosly needs a bunch of code to be perfect, but its just the basics. If you want the whole example, Ill put it in the next post, Im using the same example that Grant wrote for the perspective tutorial. REMEMBER ITS NOT PERFECT
