Hi, So here is my predicament. I am not really a graphics guy at all. The most I have done is taken a 1 week OpenGL class 10 yrs ago. Haven't looked at it since. I have been reading and reading and am overloaded with information. On top of that there is a lot that I just don't understand and am confused about. My specialty is GUI's and user friendliness, not graphics. I volunteered for this assignment to try to branch out some.
The company I work for has an existing program from a project 4 yrs ago. It has a very simple 2D terrain map that shows points of interest with different icons. It was done on Windows with MFC. I have been tasked with doing the same thing for a current project that is done on Windows with QT. I have started looking at this. Currently on this project we have a QT GUI framework with many many possible windows that all can be opened, tiled, etc. in a common workspace. I need this map to be one of those windows. Ideally I want to be able to use Designer to make a GUI for the workspace. On that GUI will be a Frame, GroupBox, etc. widget or something that has nothing in it. I need to then pop this map into that area. Here are my current 2 big questions: 1) Is this type of integration even possible with QT? I really can't seem to find a definitive answer. Looking at the existing windows code there are functions that tie OSG with a Hwnd together. I guess I am looking for a similar way to tie the OSG and a QWidget together. 2) I am lost when they talk about Views, Viewports, Cameras, etc. The documentation doesn't really explain about all these, at least to where I can understand it and it sinks in. I have gone and looked at a few tutorials, but there isn't any comments, etc that delve into why this or that was done. I then wondered if this would be better covered as part of the underlying OpenGL stuff. Last night I was on the NeHe website and didn't see anything there either. Where is a good source to learn about this stuff? Thank you!
