[PyOpenGL-Users] gluUnProject Projection Failed

[Eleftherios G. <gar...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am using the pyopengl version 3.0.0 in Ubuntu 9.10 and I am trying to get
a pick ray when I press 'p' in the keyboard. To do that I found that is well
suggested to use gluUnProject.

if key == 'p':


            modelviewmatrix=gl.glGetDoublev(gl.GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX)

            print 'ModelViewMatrix'
            print modelviewmatrix

            projectionmatrix=gl.glGetDoublev(gl.GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX)
            print 'ProjectionMatrix'
            print projectionmatrix

            viewport=gl.glGetDoublev(gl.GL_VIEWPORT)

            print 'Viewport'
            print viewport

            print float(x), viewport[3]-float(y)

            wx,wy,wz= glu.gluUnProject(float(x),viewport[3]-float(y),0.,
                                              modelviewmatrix,
                                              projectionmatrix,
                                              viewport)

            print 'World Coordinate'
            print wx,wy,wz

And the output is giving me a value error projection failed as you can see
below

Any ideas?
