Question

I want to draw a sphere and I want to rotate it, How can I do it in JOGL? ( I am working on a program to visualize the sun )

please provide a pic of the code.

Answer 1

import net.java.games.jogl.GL;

import net.java.games.jogl.GLU;

import net.java.games.jogl.GLUquadric;

...

GLUquadric quad = glu.gluNewQuadric();

glu.gluSphere(quad, 2, 10, 15);

glu.gluDeleteQuadric(quad);

or try this
