Please note that L3P's field of view is the horizontal field of view, and
OpenGL's is the vertical field of view.  You have to convert if you want the
same result.  You can check real quick by doing a square image in each.  If they
look the same, then it's a good bet that's the problem.

In case you don't want to think about the math, here it is:

vfov = 2*atan(tan(hfov/2)/(width/height))

See, this is why ldview is so much better.  I'm still trying to absorb
the first post and you whip out the math.

Ok, apparently I knew about the horizontal/vertical bit at one point
because the code to print an l3p command line contains this comment:

    // POV uses x for Field Of View, GluPerspective() uses y.

And I found some code similar to your equation there, but it looks
like I forgot to do the reverse with the command line fov before
passing it to GluPerspective().  Oops.

Thanks,

I'm sure I could have derived the above equation on my own, but here is the actual comment out of LDView that I got the above from: (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
