There is probably something wrong in your not-shown classes ColorGL &| BezierGL, since the code runs fine with all reference to those classes commented.

Have you got a debugger? I'm guessing if your PC is saying 'Segmentation fault' that you're using some breed of Linux? If so, run your application from the command like like this...
gdb ./a.out ...and when it segfaults, do...
backtrace ...and you'll have a much better idea where your error is ( since gdb is an interactive debugger, and 'backtrace' gives you the callstack before the error ).

If you're not on Linux.. er.. dno, what are you on? I've never seen Windows say 'Segmentation fault'... Visual Studio has an integrated debugger, but you'll have to work out how to use it yourself.

That helps. Turns out BezierGL::plot() is a fault.

I guess I can show some of my code.

Modifying that function work. I managed to make my four points before Segmentation fault occurs. :-)

I think I can handle it from here. Thanks for the help.

Fixed it. Turns Out I was using the wrong function in my mouse function.

Ok, the method NodeGL:plot is very small, the only thing that could be wrong in that method itself is the array not being instantiated ( or being too short ), however, there could be something wrong higher up ( the pointer 'this' can be 0 sometimes! ).

To get more useful info from the debugger, you need to add an option when compiling: recompile all of your files with the option -g3 to emit debugging information ( I hope that works on your G++ version, I'm using G++4 ).. after recompiling -- you need to recompile ALL of the files with this option, so not just the hex3.cpp file, but the file(s) for bezier, node, etc aswell -- after doing that, run the application with GDB again, and post the output of backtrace if you dont mind.. that will tell me ( and I can tell you ) whether or not it's an error within the code in the method NodeGL:plot, or an error higher in the call chain.

Cool; good to know it's working

Disregard my last post; although, the -g3 flag is quite useful to remember ( with full debug info you can see all the values passed into methods aswell as the method names ).
