ROTATING_CUBE_DISPLAY_OPENGL\ Animation with OpenGL {#rotating_cube_display_opengl-animation-with-opengl align=”center”} ================================

ROTATING_CUBE_DISPLAY_OPENGL is a C++ program which displays a cube with colored corners that slowly rotates. By clicking the left, middle, or right mouse buttons, the user can change the axis of rotation.

Usage: {#usage align=”center”}

rotating_cube_display_opengl

displays the rotating cube. Successive mouse clicks alternate the axis of rotation from the X, to the Y, to the Z axis and back again.
