Drawing the letter A shape help

Hi i am new here and i am having trouble trying to draw the letter A shape. I have vertices but i can not figure where they go. Here is my code…

#include “glew.h”
#include “freeglut.h”
#include “glext.h”

// Drawing routine.

// Draw a polygon with specified vertices.

//if (isWire) glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT, GL_LINE); else glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT, GL_FILL);

Where did the vertex coordinates come from? Have you checked to make sure they really are vertices of the letter ‘A’? This can be done easily by using GL_POINTS in the glBegin statement instead of GL_TRIANGLE_FAN. The code you posted has all but two glVertex commands commented out. You need at least 3 vertices to make a triangle. It seems like you don’t understand how GL_TRIANGLE_FAN is supposed to work. I suggest reading the docs on glBegin. I’d probably use gl_QUADS to do an ‘A’. I suggest trying to do just ONE part of the ‘A’ (the horizontal line?) using one quadrilateral (i.e. 4 glVertex calls). If you can do that, the rest of the ‘A’ will be easy. Also, people are more likely to help you if you post code in [ code] [ /code] tags with proper indentation. Good luck.
