Composite Transformations
Login and open two windows, one for editing and one for compiling
and executing programs.
Copy the program robot.cpp from the lecture notes. Compile and execute it.
Rotate the shoulder and elbow by hitting 'E' and 'S'.
Modify the program to add additional segments to the robot arm.
Modify the program to add additional segments at the same
position. For example, give the robot arm several "fingers"
at the wrist, as shown in the figure below.
Hint: Use glPushMatrix() and glPopMatrix()
to save and restore the position and orientation of the
coordinate system at the wrist. If you're going to draw
fingers at the wrist, you need to save the current
matrix prior to positioning each finger, and restore
the current matrix after each finger is drawn.
