glMatrixMode : PyOpenGL 3.0.2 GL Man Pages

specify which matrix is the current matrix

Signature

glMatrixMode( GLenum ( mode ) )-> void

glMatrixMode( mode )

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
