OpenGL rendering and TriangleBatch problems

so i'm following the "OpenGL superbible 5" and have encountered yet another issue: I'm trying to use GLTools.h, GLShaderManager, math3d.h, etc. to get the example code for the book, fresh from google Code, but all i get is a a blank white window.

Here's the code i'm running:

// Objects.cpp
// OpenGL SuperBible, Chapter 4
// Demonstrates GLTools built-in objects
// Program by Richard S. Wright Jr.

#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLTools.h>    // OpenGL toolkit
#include <GLMatrixStack.h>
#include <GLFrame.h>
#include <GLFrustum.h>
#include <GLBatch.h>
#include <GLGeometryTransform.h>

#include <math.h>
#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <glut/glut.h>
#else
#define FREEGLUT_STATIC
#include <GL/glut.h>

Thanks for any input!! =)

For one, you're not setting FinalMatrix to anything before using it. I'm not familiar with GLTools, but is there some setup that it needs that you're missing?

It is possible that you do not have a projection matrix set which might explain the white render window.

During application initialisation use the following or similar to generate a projection matrix:

 glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);   //changes the current matrix to the projection matrix

  //sets up the projection matrix for a perspective transform
  gluPerspective(45,     //view angle
                 1.0,    //aspect ratio
                 10.0,   //near clip
                 200.0); //far clip

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); //changes the current matrix to the modelview matrix

(From GameDev.net )

You can calculate the aspect ratio by doing window width over height if you wish. Viewing angle, near and far clip planes are dependant on your application.

In order to use the glu function you will need glu.h included and glu.lib added as a library (although a quick look at the glew.h header makes it appear that the Glu header file should already be included).

The other issue may be that a view matrix has not been set. The GLFrame header appears to contain a camera system that can once you have set a camera position, look at vector (or point) and an up direction be used to generate the view matrix (GetCameraMatrix() I think ).

I'm currently uncertain what function could be used to set the view matrix with the libraries you are using at the moment
