how do I get a cubes diagonal in paralle with x axis?
October 21, 2004 11:27 PM
The code below is a snippet from a tutorial.
How do I have
one of the cubes diagonal lines in parallel with the X-axis.
By diagonal I mean fron a corner of one vertex to another going thru the cube in a diagonal fashion, ie not thru the same plane
I assume I use glrotatef??

-make the top left base of the cube (0,0,0)(translate it)
v1=(0,0,0);
v2=(a,a,a);
v1v2 is the diagonal vector v1v2=(a,a,a)
1.you must rotate this vector by alpha so it sits in the xoy plane around x axis
-the projection of this vector on the xoy plane is v1'v2'=(a,a,0)
2 alfa is the angle you must rotate around
v1v2 dot_product v'v2'=|v1v2|*|v1'v2'|cos(alpha)
3.Now you are in the xoy plane and you must rotate around z so tha diagonal sits along the x axis
This time the vectors are v1'v2' and the x axis(1,0,0)
do the same thing to compute the angle
I hope this helped!
