glMatrixMode : PyOpenGL 3.0.1b2 GL Man Pages

specify which matrix is the current matrix

Deprecation Notice

Note that this function has been marked deprecated in the OpenGL 3.0 specification. You should not be using this function in new code, though it will likely be supported by most implementations via the GL_ARB_compatibility extension. For more information on OpenGL 3.x deprecations, see the deprecations page.

Signature

glMatrixMode( GLenum ( mode ) )-> void

glMatrixMode( mode )

glMatrixMode( GLenum(mode) ) -> None

Parameters

Variables	Description
mode	Specifies which matrix stack is the target for subsequent matrix operations. Three values are accepted: GL_MODELVIEW , GL_PROJECTION , and GL_TEXTURE . The initial value is GL_MODELVIEW . Additionally, if the ARB_imaging extension is supported, GL_COLOR is also accepted.

Description

glMatrixMode sets the current matrix mode. mode can assume one of four values:

GL_MODELVIEW: Applies subsequent matrix operations to the modelview matrix stack.
GL_PROJECTION: Applies subsequent matrix operations to the projection matrix stack.
GL_TEXTURE: Applies subsequent matrix operations to the texture matrix stack.
GL_COLOR: Applies subsequent matrix operations to the color matrix stack.

To find out which matrix stack is currently the target of all matrix operations, call glGet with argument GL_MATRIX_MODE . The initial value is GL_MODELVIEW .

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glMatrixMode is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd .

Associated Gets

glGet with argument GL_MATRIX_MODE
