glTranslate

multiply the current matrix by a translation matrix

Signature

glTranslate( )->
glTranslate( x , y , z )
glTranslated( GLdouble ( x ) , GLdouble ( y ) , GLdouble ( z ) )-> void
glTranslated( x , y , z )
glTranslatef( GLfloat ( x ) , GLfloat ( y ) , GLfloat ( z ) )-> void
glTranslatef( x , y , z )

Parameters

VariablesDescription
x, y, z
Specify the x , y , and z coordinates of a translation vector.

Description

glTranslate produces a translation by x y z . The current matrix (see glMatrixMode ) is multiplied by this translation matrix, with the product replacing the current matrix, as if glMultMatrix were called with the following matrix for its argument:
1 0 0 x 0 1 0 y 0 0 1 z 0 0 0 1
If the matrix mode is either GL_MODELVIEW or GL_PROJECTION , all objects drawn after a call to glTranslate are translated.
Use glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix to save and restore the untranslated coordinate system.

Errors

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

Associated Gets

glGet with argument GL_MATRIX_MODE
glGet with argument GL_COLOR_MATRIX
glGet with argument GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX
glGet with argument GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX
glGet with argument GL_TEXTURE_MATRIX
