how to draw a filled circle in opengl

Yes then it is definitely about aspect ratio. Which function are you using for initialize camera - gluOrtho2D or gluPerspective? You need to match the parameters to these functions with the aspect ratio of the window.

sin and cos expects angle to be in radians and not in degrees.

Try:
for(angle=0.0f ; angle<2*3.14159 ; angle+=0.2)

Well, I bought the book Beginning OpenGL Game Programming, 2nd edition from Borders and used the first example project (after I finally got it to compile and everything), and then took their drawing code out and put mine in and modified things like gluLookat() bit by bit and sure enough, I can now make a 800x600 or 1024x768 screen with a nice, round planet. The auto-code from the CodeBlocks/Mingw setup was very simple and designed to set up a small 1:1 window and then do a rotating triangle, while the example from the book used all kinds of different functions like gluLookat() and gluPerspective and who knows what else. So the moral of the story for me is, buy a book. So until the next time I remain humbly yours, good people of Code Project. -B

If it's a filled circle:

glEnable(GL_POINT_SMOOTH);
glHint(GL_POINT_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_NICEST);
glPointSize(radius);
glPoint(x, y, z);

I believe this gon help more in great way with OOP concept

class circle{
public : float x,y,rot;

public:
void createcircle (int k, int r, int h); 

};
void circle::createcircle (int k, int r, int h) {
  glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN);
    for (int i = 0; i < 180; i++)
    {
    x = r * cos(i) - h;
    y = r * sin(i) + k;
    glVertex3f(x + k,y - h,0);
    
    x = r * cos(i + 0.1) - h;
    y = r * sin(i + 0.1) + k;
    glVertex3f(x + k,y - h,0);
    }
    glEnd();
}

Hello Saurabh, the same thing happened, though the "circle" wasn't complete this time so I "overkilled" it like this:

for (angle=0.0f;angle<3*3.14159;angle+=0.2)

by putting a 3 instead of 2 in "angle < 2*3.14159" as you see to finish it up.

At any rate, it's still a tomato. I personally think it has something to do with the aspectratio of the setup, because if I do this:

x1=-0.1f, y1=-0.1f,x2=0.1f,y2=0.1f;

glBegin(GL_QUADS);

glVertex2f(x1,y1);
glVertex2f(x2,y1);
glVertex2f(x2,y2);
glVertex2f(x1,y2);

glEnd();

it's a rectangle instead of a square. Perhaps you or someone else knows how to fiddle with some setup variables and thanks at any rate for giving it a shot. By the way, how do you indent on here? I put some spaces to indent, but it comes out flat.
