[gl4java-usergroup] lighting problem

[Combe, C. <C....@na...>]

hi,
i been having some problems trying to turn an object around - the light
source keeps moving with it. I'm fairly new to all this, but the advice i
got from a discussion group over at openGL.org was that a display method
with the following structure -

LoadIdentity
Position the camera
Push
Position the light
Pop
For each object
....Push
....Position the object
....Draw the object
....Pop
Swap buffers

should allow me to rotate objects independantly of the light source, the
desired effect. I think that this is what the attatched code does - but when
i run it the light source turns with the object. Whats going wrong?

thanks,
col

p.s. Sven - if you're reading this - thanks for the advice you gave me about
adding and removing canvases from frames a couiple of weeks ago - i've not
dowloaded the source from the cvs tree to try it yet but will give it a go
soon.
