Would someone mind providing me sample code on how to display an image(JPEG) as the background of a window. I''m currently rummaging through the tuturials and also an OpenGL book to guide me....additional help would be appreciated.

try TGA instead of JPEG. Then use nehe''t tga load code. Then disable depth test, draw a large textured quad using the image, and re-enable depth test. There after the image will be behind everything drawn (no matter the location. even if the obj. is behind the quad).

There was a feature not too long back describing how to use the Intel JPEG Library to load JPEGs. An alternative to IJL is OpenIL which can open JPEG's as well as TGA and PNG's.

Hope this helps.
