[Jprogramming] opengl on MAC OS X

[Carl Jacobs]

Brian,

My java version is:
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)

I'm not even sure how I'd update it, as I'm quite new to Mac. Although it 
would seem that I'm not too far out of sync.

I guess the font limitation serves me right for not looking at the source!

I'm not sure how to describe what I see with lookat, so I've attached a 
screen grab. This is the image that displays on startup. Rotating the image 
(x,y,z keys), results in other strange variations. It sort of feels like an 
inverted perspective, which is being affected by a clipping plane. When I 
rotate the cube to look at the back three faces (cyan, magenta, yellow), 
then it all looks fine! I've done a source compare with my Windows box, and 
the source looks the same. I tried swapping the order of some of the 
vertices (from clockwise to counter-clockwise), thinking that maybe it was 
being affected by the normals, but that also didn't help.

Regards,
Carl.
