GLMULTMATRIX(3G) GLMULTMATRIX(3G)
NAME
glMultMatrixd, glMultMatrixf - multiply the current matrix with the
specified matrix
C SPECIFICATION
void glMultMatrixd( const GLdouble *m )
void glMultMatrixf( const GLfloat *m )
PARAMETERS
m Points to 16 consecutive values that are used as the elements of a
4x4 column-major matrix.
DESCRIPTION
glMultMatrix multiplies the current matrix with the one specified using
m, and replaces the current matrix with the product.
The current matrix is determined by the current matrix mode (see
glMatrixMode). It is either the projection matrix, modelview matrix, or
the texture matrix.
EXAMPLES
If the current matrix is C, and the coordinates to be transformed are,
v=(v[0],v[1],v[2],v[3]). Then the current transformation is Cxv, or
c[0] c[4] c[8] c[12] v[0]
(c[1] c[5] c[9] c[13])x(v[1])
c[2] c[6] c[10] c[14] v[2]
c[3] c[7] c[11] c[15] v[3]
Calling glMultMatrix with an argument of m=m[0],m[1],...,m[15] replaces
the current transformation with (CxM)xv, or
c[0] c[4] c[8] c[12] m[0] m[4] m[8] m[12] v[0]
(c[1] c[5] c[9] c[13])x(m[1] m[5] m[9] m[13])x(v[1])
c[2] c[6] c[10] c[14] m[2] m[6] m[10] m[14] v[2]
c[3] c[7] c[11] c[15] m[3] m[7] m[11] m[15] v[3]
Where 'x' denotes matrix multiplication, and v is represented as a 4x1
matrix.
NOTES
While the elements of the matrix may be specified with single or double
precision, the GL may store or operate on these values in less than
single precision.
In many computer languages 4x4 arrays are represented in row-major
order. The transformations just described represent these matrices in
column-major order. The order of the multiplication is important. For
example, if the current transformation is a rotation, and glMultMatrix
is called with a translation matrix, the translation is done directly
on the coordinates to be transformed, while the rotation is done on the
results of that translation.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glMultMatrix is executed between
the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
