glMultMatrixd function
The glMultMatrixd and glMultMatrixf functions multiply the current matrix by an arbitrary matrix.
Syntax
void WINAPI glMultMatrixd(
const GLdouble *m
);
Parameters
-
m
-
A pointer to a 4x4 matrix stored in column-major order as 16 consecutive values.
Return value
This function does not return a value.
Error codes
The following error code can be retrieved by the glGetError function.
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
The function was called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd. |
Remarks
The glMultMatrix function multiplies the current matrix by the one specified in m. That is, if M is the current matrix and T is the matrix passed to glMultMatrix, then M is replaced with M T.
The current matrix is the projection matrix, modelview matrix, or texture matrix, determined by the current matrix mode (see glMatrixMode).
The m parameter points to a 4x4 matrix of single-precision or double-precision floating-point values stored in column-major order. That is, the matrix is stored as shown in the following image.
