OpenGL: Picking

• Steps for Picking

  • Initialize select buffer for keeping hit records.
  • Enter selection mode
  • Initialize name stack
  • Specify usual projection transformation, but restricted to some picked area.
  • Draw geometry as usual, but give each geometry a different name id.
  • Exit selection mode, and process hit records to find the picked geometry.
