i am a newbie in OpenGL...some tpoics create conflicts
to me .....Ples help me.....

1) what is the default Axis and origin of the OpenGL??
2)When we draw a point as

glBegin(GL_POINTS);
glVertex3f(9.0f,0.8f,89.0f);
glEnd();

notifying vertex position...how is this possible??how
they think here as their Axis and origin???

You are probably talking about specific program and I dont see anything that is such a strictness of assigning -ve values.

You can refer to the OpenGL program in SolarSystem--My first OpenGL program.
