Textures not working with OpenGL

Question

I am trying to load a texture from an array. I have a quad that is supposed to be used for the texture.

#include 
#include 
#inc         


        

Answer 1

You don't have a current GL context in init() where you're calling it in WinProc(). Move the init() call to after EnableOpenGL() in WinMain().

---

Also:

GLubyte pixels[12] = 
{
    0, 0, 0,   1, 1, 1,
    1, 1, 1,   0, 0, 0
};

GLubyte channels range from 0 (minimum intensity) to 255 (maximum intensity).

You have a checkerboard pattern of pure black and very near pure black.

Try this:

GLubyte pixels[12] = 
{
      0,   0,   0,   255, 255, 255,
    255, 255, 255,     0,   0,   0,
};

You should also issue a glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1) (default 4) before your glTexImage2D() call since you're using RGB.

Also:

You need to actually enable texturing using glEnable( GL_TEXTURE_2D ) before rendering your quad.
