QGLTeapot Class

Detailed Description

The QGLTeapot class represents a 3D teapot object.

The classic 3D "Utah Teapot" was originally drawn by Martin Newell in 1975. The vertex data was made publicly available by him and it has been a standard 3D test object ever since.

For more information on the history of the "Utah Teapot", see Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_teapot.

The following example code uses QGLTeapot to draw a teapot of size 0.5 at the origin:

 QGLBuilder builder;
 builder << QGLTeapot();
 teapot = builder.finalizedSceneNode();

 painter.modelViewMatrix().scale(0.5f);
 teapot->draw(painter);

The QGLTeapot object contains a lot of vertex data once it has been subdivided into triangles. It is recommended that instances of this class be created at startup, added to a QGLBuilder, and then the finalized scene node can be reused over and over.
