tearing in opengl

[codist]

My OpenGL application tears. I have no idea how to fix this, I have tried a lot of stuff.

Post some code, please.

Single or double buffer?
Do you use GLUT?
How are you calling to the display function?

A timer would work where it calls the draw function 60 times a second, but how do you do that?

maybe use the glutTimerFunc callback

A timer wouldn't really work. Only way to consistently prevent tearing is to VSync.

How to VSync depends on what other interface you're using, as ne555 suggested. Is this GLUT? Or some other windowing lib like SFML/wx/etc?

I'm using the Win32 ways of doing things. this is my render function:

inline void render(void) {
	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
	glClearColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

	drawCube(0, 0, 0, 4, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00); // draws a cube (defined earlier)

	gluLookAt(0, 0, -30, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);

	SwapBuffers(g_HDC);
}
