1. Sample OpenGL programs:
   - basicwindow.c This program plots points in a parabola.
   Also see basicwindow.py (Python version)
   - window1x.c Demonstrates drawing xy axis, plus prints text on the graphics window
   Also see window1c.py (Python version)
   window3x.c Demonstrates sub-windows and keyboard and mouse "event callback" functions
2. Shapes and Animation: parabola.c, a program from OpenGL Graphics resource page
3. More Sample introductory programs
   - basicanimate.c A simple animation version of the curve plotting program
   - basicanimate4.c This one includes text on the graphics screen
   - basicanimate5.c This one demonstrates a Menu on the graphics screen
   - cannon3d.cpp Uses gluLookAt() to "pan" through the projectile program
   - scene2.c, pans through a 3D scene with Z and Y, using gluLookAt
   - References for Glut API definitions
4. Spring 2002 class assignments - a good resource page
5. More good intro OpenGL programs, plus work from past students
6. Sample programs from Mark Kilgard
7. Adding a menu, plus animated solar system and teapot
8. Sample code from OpenGL.org, the "Redbook" examples are from our textbook.
