GLSL Checkerboard Pattern

Question

i want to shade the quad with checkers:

f(P)=[floor(Px)+floor(Py)]mod2.

My quad is:

glBegin(GL_QUADS);    
  glVerte         


        

Answer 1

It is better to calculate this effect in fragment shader, something like that:

vertex program =>

varying vec2 texCoord;

void main(void)
{
   gl_Position = vec4( gl_Vertex.xy, 0.0, 1.0 );
   gl_Position = sign( gl_Position );

   texCoord = (vec2( gl_Position.x, gl_Position.y ) 
             + vec2( 1.0 ) ) / vec2( 2.0 );      
}

fragment program =>

#extension GL_EXT_gpu_shader4 : enable
uniform sampler2D Texture0;
varying vec2 texCoord;

void main(void)
{
    ivec2 size = textureSize2D(Texture0,0);
    float total = floor(texCoord.x*float(size.x)) +
                  floor(texCoord.y*float(size.y));
    bool isEven = mod(total,2.0)==0.0;
    vec4 col1 = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0);
    vec4 col2 = vec4(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0);
    gl_FragColor = (isEven)? col1:col2;
}

Output =>

Good luck!
