Hello all!

I'm under Linux and compiled OpenCV 2.4.4 with OpenGL support, but I don't have any idea of how using the opengl_interop.hpp functions (some of them are even undocumented!, at least on my version of documentation). Looking at window.cpp in the section with OpenGL enabled I found some hints about the use of the functions setOpenGLContext, setOpenGLDrawCallback and updateView but I can't get working even this very simple piece of code:

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <opencv2/core/opengl_interop.hpp>

using namespace cv;

void on_opengl(void* userdata);

int main(void)
{
    VideoCapture webcam(CV_CAP_ANY);
    Mat frame;
    namedWindow("window", CV_WINDOW_OPENGL);
    setOpenGlContext("window");
    while(waitKey(30) < 0)
    {
        webcam >> frame;
        setOpenGlDrawCallback("window", on_opengl);
        imshow("window", frame);
        updateWindow("window");
    }

    return 0;
}

void on_opengl(void* userdata)
{
    glLoadIdentity();

    glTranslated(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

    glRotatef( 55, 1, 0, 0 );
    glRotatef( 45, 0, 1, 0 );
    glRotatef( 0, 0, 0, 1 );

    static const int coords[6][4][3] = {
        { { +1, -1, -1 }, { -1, -1, -1 }, { -1, +1, -1 }, { +1, +1, -1 } },
        { { +1, +1, -1 }, { -1, +1, -1 }, { -1, +1, +1 }, { +1, +1, +1 } },
        { { +1, -1, +1 }, { +1, -1, -1 }, { +1, +1, -1 }, { +1, +1, +1 } },
        { { -1, -1, -1 }, { -1, -1, +1 }, { -1, +1, +1 }, { -1, +1, -1 } },
        { { +1, -1, +1 }, { -1, -1, +1 }, { -1, -1, -1 }, { +1, -1, -1 } },
        { { -1, -1, +1 }, { +1, -1, +1 }, { +1, +1, +1 }, { -1, +1, +1 } }
    };

    for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i) {
                glColor3ub( i*20, 100+i*10, i*42 );
                glBegin(GL_QUADS);
                for (int j = 0; j < 4; ++j) {
                        glVertex3d(0.2*coords[i][j][0], 0.2 * coords[i][j][1], 0.2*coords[i][j][2]);
                }
                glEnd();
    }
}

What is the right way of using opengl on the webcam stream? bye!
