Student -- I'm having some issues with my transportation this morning 
and will be late to class.  I am still working on the slides for 
lighting and will hopefully get those posted by tomorrow night.

Also, some of you have asked for assistance in getting 2D text on the 
screen.  The information is in the class notes, but basically you need 
some code like this in your display function.

char *charString = malloc(40 * sizeof(char));
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
sprintf(charString, "ORTHOGRAPHIC");
drawString(15,10,GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12,charString);
free(charString);

where I also have a function called drawString in my code...

void drawString(GLuint x, GLuint y, void *font, const char* string)
{
       const char *c;
       glRasterPos2i(x, y);
       for(c=string; *c!='\0'; c++)
       glutBitmapCharacter(font, *c);
}
