Vertex not read in opengl-CodePudding

I have a question, what should I do when some part of the vertex not read by opengl? I mean when I run the code, it didn't follows my coordinate grid which i did on graph paper and even after I delete that vertex, it still showed the same output. I wanted to make maple leaf.

I want to make a some sort of curve using straight line by lower the y value for that specific vertex but when I run the code, instead of making the line to the coordinate I already set, it skipped that vertex I set and went to the other vertex and create a straight line.

Let say, I set for vertex A(-0.44, 0.16) B(-0.46, 0.16) C(-0.52, 0.18) D(-0.54, 0.24), instead of going from A to B to C, it skipped B and C and went for D.

CodePudding user response：

This is your polygon:

Your shape is not convex and GL_POLYGON stipulates:

GL_POLYGON

Draws a single, convex polygon. Vertices 1 through N define this polygon.

To rasterize this contour, manually break your shape into triangles, or other primitive components such as a TRIANGLE FAN or TRIANGLE STRIP. This is called tessellation. Although GL_POLYGON looks tempting, it is for convex shapes only.

(original image source)

For arbitrary polygons, you'll need to tessellate the contour yourself. You can seek out a library for doing this such as: https://github.com/mapbox/earcut.hpp The good news is that you only have to do this once, and you can do it offline (not at run-time). Once your polygon is tessellated, you'll be able draw it with GL_TRIANGLES.
