GLSL: Accessing one row of the texture

//Fragment Shader Program to access texture and just copying one row to other

uniform sampler2D textureX;
uniform float        texRows;
uniform float        texCols;

void main(void) {
//cols                rows
vec4 x            = texture2D(textureX, vec2(gl_TexCoord[0].s, gl_TexCoord[0].t+1.0/texRows));
gl_FragColor    = x;

}

GLSL Texture

Coordinates of the gl_TexCoord[0]

gl_TexCoord[0].t —— rows

gl_TexCoord[0].s ——cols

vec4 x = texture2D(textureX, vec2(Columns, rows));

gl_FragColor = x;

Assignment 3; Textures Very Imp Links

Use glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

Settingup Texture to read the Frame Buffer

<good link http://www.mathematik.tu-dortmund.de/~goeddeke/gpgpu/saxpy_glsl.cpp>

These are basic steps to take

For each texture do the following things

1) Generate the texture 

glGenTextures(1, texId);

2) Then Bind the texture to what target you want 

glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, tex);

3) Setup the properties to avoid the wraping on edges, min-mapping,

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
//clamp so that it does not excede where you do want to write
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP);

4) Use the  glTexImage2D to setup the properties like for format, type, height and width of the texture

 

(ReadShader)Simple File Reading Code in C++ with File Size buffer

//It reads the full file in single go.

}

int st = input.tellg();
input.seekg(0, ios::end);
int end = input.tellg();
int fileSize = end – st;
if(fileSize <= 0){return 0;}

char *data = new char[fileSize+50];//50 added to just have buffer
memset(data, ”,fileSize+10);
input.seekg(0, ios::beg);

input.read(data,fileSize);
input.close();
data[fileSize]= ”; //appending the zero as the read does not append that
return data;

};
#endif

OpenGl Shader Programming: Getting Started

Download “The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library” and put the files as described there.

Run glewinfo.exe to see if your graphics card supports the Opengl GLSL Shader library.

Try some code, I downloaded the program given my TA.

But there was error coming as

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp____glewGetInfoLogARB
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp____glewGetObjectParameterivARB
