OpenGL Cube Rotation Tutorial

The document describes drawing and spinning a color cube using OpenGL in C++. It defines vertex and color arrays for an 8-vertex cube. A polygon function draws the cube faces by specifying vertices and colors. A colorCube function calls polygon to draw the cube. The display function redraws the cube with rotations around the X, Y, or Z axis depending on mouse input. It spins the cube by incrementing the rotation angle over time.
