Just a quick side note: I know there is probably a solution to this already, but I don't want to dig through thousands (or millions) of posts just to find it.

I am trying to render an image to a blank screen using the following code: (some of this acquired from here: http://forum.lwjgl.org/index.php?topic=6375.msg33962#msg33962)
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.*;

import com.programwings.wofrpg.util.Coordinate;
import org.lwjgl.BufferUtils;
import org.lwjgl.stb.STBImage;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.IntBuffer;

public class Image {

private int id, width, height;
private Coordinate[] coordinates;
private String file;

public Image(String filename, Coordinate... coordinates) {
file = filename;
this.coordinates = coordinates;

IntBuffer wid = BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(1);
IntBuffer hei = BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(1);
IntBuffer com = BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(1);

ByteBuffer data = STBImage.stbi_load(filename, wid, hei, com, 4);

id = glGenTextures();
width = wid.get();
height = hei.get();

glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data);
STBImage.stbi_image_free(data);
}

public void bind() {
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, id);
}

public void unbind() {
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
}

public void draw() {
bind();
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
for(Coordinate vert : coordinates) {
glVertex2d(vert.x, vert.y);
}
glEnd();

}


}

When I run it (I just call the draw method because it works properly when rendering a shape) all that appears is a white square in the center of the screen. I have no idea why, and have no clue how to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try inserting a call to bind() after glGenTextures().

One obvious bug is that you are lacking glTexCoord*() calls inside of glBegin/glEnd. So your vertices currently don't have any texture coordinates and OpenGL does not automagically perform UV unwrapping.

Hello, thank you for replying.

I don't believe that will do anything because bind() is being called in the draw() method which is called in the driver (not shown).

Okay, yes I do that, so now the method looks like this:
public void draw() {
bind();
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2d(0, 0);
glVertex2d(c1.x, c1.y);
glTexCoord2d(1, 0);
glVertex2d(c2.x, c2.y);
glTexCoord2d(1, 1);
glVertex2d(c3.x, c3.y);
glTexCoord2d(0, 1);
glVertex2d(c4.x, c4.y);
glEnd();
}
It still did not work (unless I did something wrong.. I'm better at drawing shapes than pictures), so I don't know what to do now.

There is no implicit binding after a call to glGenTextures(). You generate a texture ID but never initialize it. The subsequent glTexParameterf and glTexImage2D calls either generate an OpenGL error (best-case) or modify a different texture object that is currently bound (worse-case). You should create a debug OpenGL context and register a debug callback. Or use LWJGLX/debug if you're not sure how to do that.

Right. I got the lwjglx thing and it gives me a massive log... most of which I have no idea how to read. Here's the output of it:

The bind() call must be between glGenTextures() and the first glTexParameterf().

Okay, I moved it to where you specified, but I still only see a white box. The code for the constructor is here:

}


Texture coordinates are between 0 and +1. Additionally, did you glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)?
Only binding the texture does not suffice. The fixed-function pipeline won't automatically use all bound textures. They must also be enabled explicitly..

I knew I had been missing something. It works now, thank you so much!
