This document contains code for a 3D snowman scene rendered with OpenGL and GLUT. It includes functions for drawing the snowman, handling camera movement with keyboard controls, and displaying the frames per second. Popup menus are created for selecting the font, fill/line drawing mode, and color. The frames per second are computed and displayed using bitmap text rendering.
