i wondered how i can add non texture bitmaps to my scene. like a 640x60 picture. - cD_

You can draw bitmaps with OpenGL but it is really slow for big bitmaps. If speed is a concern is it better to use textures.

There are three ways you can do it: glBitmap, glDrawPixels, and a texture-mapped quad.

glBitmap is limited to bitmaps (1 bit/pixel) and thus you can''t draw pixmaps (truecolor).

glDrawPixels can draw any type but is very slow.

A texture-mapped quad is the fastest and simplest way to do it that I know.
