glPushMatrix(3) glPushMatrix(3)
NAME
glPushMatrix, glPopMatrix - push and pop the current matrix stack
C SPECIFICATION
void glPushMatrix( void )
C SPECIFICATION
void glPopMatrix( void )
DESCRIPTION
There is a stack of matrices for each of the matrix modes. In
GL_MODELVIEW mode, the stack depth is at least 32. In the other modes,
GL_COLOR, const(PROJECTION), and GL_TEXTURE, the depth is at least 2.
The current matrix in any mode is the matrix on the top of the stack
for that mode.
glPushMatrix pushes the current matrix stack down by one, duplicating
the current matrix. That is, after a glPushMatrix call, the matrix on
top of the stack is identical to the one below it.
glPopMatrix pops the current matrix stack, replacing the current matrix
with the one below it on the stack.
Initially, each of the stacks contains one matrix, an identity matrix.
It is an error to push a full matrix stack, or to pop a matrix stack
that contains only a single matrix. In either case, the error flag is
set and no other change is made to GL state.
ERRORS
GL_STACK_OVERFLOW is generated if glPushMatrix is called while the cur-
rent matrix stack is full.
GL_STACK_UNDERFLOW is generated if glPopMatrix is called while the cur-
rent matrix stack contains only a single matrix.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glPushMatrix or glPopMatrix is
executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execu-
tion of glEnd.
