How can i put my image to a cylinder?

I just do sth like panorama,
now I want to paste it to a cylinder so it would be more third dimensional feel,
How can I achieve this in vc?
did I need to learn the complex openGL?

Use gluCylinder() to draw the cylinder, then apply the picture as a texture. If you want a full cylinder use gluDisk() to draw the disks on the ends.

That link should be a good starting point...

I will check it and do sth for a test~
