这一节教程的内容会比较少，我们仅仅是对上一节教程中的代码进行扩展，在窗口中渲染一个三角形出来。

本节我们以下图所示正方形来讲解OpenGl中的坐标系统。当沿着Z轴负方向看时，可见顶点的坐标必须在这个正方形内，这样视口变换才可以將它们映射到窗口中的可见区域。

点（-1.0，-1.0）对应窗口的左下角，（-1.0，1.0）对应窗口的左上角，依此类推。如果指定一个顶点在这个正方形之外，构成的三角形在这个正方形之外的部分会被裁剪掉，将会看不到这部分。

代码解读

本节代码在上节代码中稍作修改。

Vector3f Vertices[3];

Vertices[0] = Vector3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);

Vertices[1] = Vector3f(1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);

Vertices[2] = Vector3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

扩展数组容量，存放三角形的三个顶点。

glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);

调用绘图函数时將绘制模式改为GL_TRIANGLES（表示绘制三角形），第三个参数改为3，表示使用3个顶点绘制。

编译运行

可以看到窗口中显示一个白色的三角形。
