OpenGL .NET Examples

Matlab OpenGL .NET code and examples for R2009a and above

Description

Matlab R2009a and above now support .NET assemblies, which allows us to use .NET wrapped libraries such as OpenGL .NET in Matlab.

I have included OpenGL .NET assemblies including the source C# code from TAO, and a hand full examples. The examples range from a basic colored cube till a MIP render of a 3D texture with GLSL shading code. There is also example code to render Opengl and .NET forms "inside" a Matlab figure.

To work first install .NET recommend version 3.5. Try the examples and study the code.

Modifications of TAO code:
Matlab does not allow type specification of an output variable, so outputs must also be inputs to allow type specification. So I changed all array outputs in the C# code "[OUT]" to "[In, Out] ref" expect "[Out] out" commands.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a)
• Other requirements: Requires Windows with .NET installed.

You have an extra "/" in LoadTaoOpenGl.m, that's why the warning. Output of [functiondir '/TaoLight/Tao.OpenGl.dll'] returns
C:\Work\dotnet_mfiles\OpenGL\/TaoLight/Tao.OpenGl.dll

Fix:
Modify lines 6 and 7 to,
NET.addAssembly([functiondir 'TaoLight/Tao.OpenGl.dll']);
NET.addAssembly([functiondir 'TaoLight/Tao.Platform.Windows.dll']);

warning goes away.

Nice examples.
