本文中将对第5篇文章的太阳系模型进行修改，加入一些动画效果。此外还会加入显示帧速率的代码。
加入动画效果最容易的方法是响应WM_TIMER消息，在其消息处理函数中改变一些参数值，比如每过多少毫秒就旋转一定的角度，并且重绘场景。
Frame Rate
Frame rate is nothing but the number of frames that can be rendered per second. The higher this rate, the smoother the animation. In order to calculate the frame rate we retrieve the system time (using the Windows multimedia API function timeGetTime()) before the rendering is performed and after the buffer is swapped. The difference between the two values is the elapsed time to render one frame. Thus we can calculate the frame rate for a given application.
1，我们需要调用timeGetTime（）函数,因此在stdafx.h中加入:
#include <mmsystem.h> // for MM timers (you'll need WINMM.LIB)
并且Link—>Object/library modules中加入winmm.lib
2，为了计算绘制用时，在CCY457OpenGLView.h中加入如下变量：
//For elapsed timing calculations
DWORD m_StartTime, m_ElapsedTime, m_previousElapsedTime;
CString m_WindowTitle; //Window Title
int DayOfYear;
int HourOfDay;
并在构造函数中进行初始化：
CCY457OpenGLView::CCY457OpenGLView()
{
DayOfYear = 1;
HourOfDay = 1;
}
3，为了计算帧速率，修改OnCreate函数，在其中获取窗口标题，从标题中去掉”Untitled”字样，并启动定时器；
4，同样为了计算帧速率，修改OnDraw函数如下，在其中用glPushMatrix 和 glPopMatrix将RenderScene函数包裹起来，从而确保动画会正确运行。在SwapBuffers调用后我们调用PostRenderScene来显示帧速率信息到窗口标题。
void CCY457OpenGLView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
CCY457OpenGLDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
// Get the system time, in milliseconds.
m_ElapsedTime = ::timeGetTime(); // get current time
if ( ElapsedTimeinMSSinceLastRender() < 30 )
return
// Clear out the color & depth buffers
::glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT );
glPushMatrix();
RenderScene();
glPopMatrix();
// Tell OpenGL to flush its pipeline
::glFinish();
// Now Swap the buffers
::SwapBuffers( m_pDC->GetSafeHdc() );
//Perform Post Display Processing
// Only update the title every 15 redraws (this is about
// every 1/2 second)
PostRenderScene();
// the very last thing we do is to save
// the elapsed time, this is used with the
// next elapsed time to calculate the
// elapsed time since a render and the frame rate
m_previousElapsedTime = m_ElapsedTime;
}
