Trying 3d for the first time - How should I initGL()?

[RylandAlmanza]

I made a simple cube, except it doesn't have a back. Or a right side. Or a left side. Or a bottom. Ok, it's not really a cube, but it has a front and top so that I can test depth! Anyways, I placed it so that the front is at position (0, 0, 0) but I can't see it, and I think it has to do with my initGL() function:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19

protected void initGL() {    int width = display_parent.getWidth();    int height = display_parent.getHeight();    GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D);'                       GL11.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);                           // enable alpha blending         GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_BLEND);         GL11.glBlendFunc(GL11.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL11.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);                 GL11.glViewport(0,0,width,height);    GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_MODELVIEW);    GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_PROJECTION);    GL11.glLoadIdentity();    GL11.glOrtho(0, width, 0, height, 0, height);    GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_MODELVIEW); }

Am I doing something wrong? It's 2:00 AM, so I probably am. Off to bed. Thanks in advance!

your cube is probably clipped due to false far/near planes. Also having zero in the middle of the screen helps.
try:

1	GL11.glOrtho( -width/2, width/2, -height/2, height/2, -height/2, height/2 )

for starters

Thanks for the help. Shiny medal for you! I still can't see my cube though. Here's the block class:
EDIT: Wait, it worked! Thanks a lot!
