My OpenGL setup is somehow configured to work like so:

(-1, 1) (0, 1) (1, 1)
(-1, 0) (0, 0) (1, 0)
(-1, -1) (0, -1) (1, -1)

How do I configure it so that it works like so:

(0, 0) (SW/2, 0) (SW, 0)
(0, SH/2) (SW/2, SH/2) (SW, SH/2)
(0, SH) (SW/2, SH) (SW/2, SH)

SW as Screen Width. SH as Screen Height.

This solution would have to fix the problem of I can't translate significantly(>1) on the Z axis. Depth doesn't seem to be working either. The Perspective code I'm using is that of my WORKING GLUT OpenGL code which has a cool 3d grid and camera system etc. But my OpenGL setup doesn't seem to work with SFML.

Help me guys. :(

Thanks in advance. :)

        glEnd();

        glPopMatrix();
