GLUT Trackball Demo
1.Introduction
在三维场景中建立模型后，为了方便用户从各个角度观察模型，从而需要对三维视图进行控制。常见的视图交互控制方式有：Trackball控制器、飞行控制器，还有三维游戏常用的第一人称控制器。这些视图控制器的根本是对模型视图矩阵MODELVIEW进行变换。
Trackball控制器以一种用户友好的交互方式来变换视图，原理是由Trackball激发，Trackball如下图所示：
Figure 1. Trackball
通过手指在球面上滚动，就可以对三维视图进行控制。现在需要用鼠标的拖动来模拟Trackball以实现对三维视图的控制。在OpenGL中实现Trackball控制视图分为以下几步：
1.将鼠标移动时的屏幕坐标点映射到单位球上；
2.将开始旋转视图时鼠标点到球心的向量与鼠标移动过程中的坐标点球心的向量叉乘，即可得到旋转轴；
根据叉乘的定义，可以得到旋转角度:
有了旋转轴和旋转角度，就可以对视图进行旋转操作了。
2.GLUT Test
为了简明地说明Trackball的原理，这里只使用了GLUT库和OpenCASCADE中的四元数和向量相关的类。如果其他开源库也有向量计算和四元数据计算类，也可以将代码很快移植到使用其他库，如矩阵计算库Eigen等。下面给出GLUT的示例代码：

上述程序运行结果如下动图所示：
从上图可知，当旋转几次后视图并没有得到预期的结果。因为程序将鼠标映射后坐标与球心得到的向量进行了显示，发现当旋转几次后，这个向量并没有跟随鼠标。
3.Transform
通过观察上面代码程序运行的结果，可以发现鼠标映射函数得到的映射点始终是位于XOY平面上的一个半球面上。当视图被旋转后，视图的坐标系已经发生了变化，而映射点并没有。为了跟踪这个变换用四元数进行累乘来记录这一系列的旋转变换。最后在映射函数中将映射点变换到已经改变的视图坐标系中。
即在鼠标移动处理函数中增加记录变换：
gp_Quaternion q(W, aAngle);
R.Multiply(q);
R.Multiply(q);
在mapToSphere函数中增加：
gp_Trsf aTrsf;
aTrsf.SetRotation(Q.Inverted());
aTrsf.Transforms(thePnt);
aTrsf.SetRotation(Q.Inverted());
aTrsf.Transforms(thePnt);
列出升级后的全部代码如下所示：

4.Conclusion
程序员总是有很强的控制欲，希望一切尽在掌握之中。在三维场景中建立模型后，如何对视图进行控制来方便地观察模型呢？最常见的控制方式就是Trackball. OpenSceneGraph、Eigen等开源库都有相关的实现。
Trackball的实现主要是将鼠标点映射到一个球面上，然后使用叉乘得到旋转轴和旋转角度。为了旋转的流畅，使用四元数记录了一系列的旋转变换，最后通过将映射点进行坐标变换得到满意的效果。
