glTranslatef function
The glTranslatef function multiplies the current matrix by a translation matrix.
Syntax
void WINAPI glTranslatef(
GLfloat x,
GLfloat y,
GLfloat z
);
Parameters
-
x
-
The x coordinate of a translation vector.
-
y
-
The y coordinate of a translation vector.
-
z
-
The z coordinate of a translation vector.
Return value
This function does not return a value.
Remarks
The glTranslatef function produces the translation specified by (x, y, z). The translation vector is used to compute a 4x4 translation matrix:
The current matrix (see glMatrixMode) is multiplied by this translation matrix, with the product replacing the current matrix. That is, if M is the current matrix and T is the translation matrix, then M is replaced with M T.
If the matrix mode is either GL_MODELVIEW or GL_PROJECTION, all objects drawn after glTranslatef is called are translated. Use glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix to save and restore the untranslated coordinate system.
