Name
glLoadMatrixd, glLoadMatrixf — replace the current matrix with the specified matrix
C Specification
void glLoadMatrixd | ( | const GLdouble *m); |
void glLoadMatrixf | ( | const GLfloat *m); |
Python Specification
glLoadMatrixd | ( | m) → None |
glLoadMatrixf | ( | m) → None |
Parameters
- m
-
Specifies a pointer to 16 consecutive values, which are used as the elements of a
4
×
4
column-major matrix.
Description
glLoadMatrix replaces the current matrix with the one whose elements are
specified by m. The current matrix is the projection matrix, modelview matrix, or texture
matrix, depending on the current matrix mode (see glMatrixMode).
The current matrix, M, defines a transformation of coordinates. For instance, assume M refers to the modelview matrix.

Where "

Projection and texture transformations are similarly defined.
Notes
While the elements of the matrix may be specified with single or double precision, the GL implementation may store or
operate on these values in less than single precision.
Errors
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glLoadMatrix is
executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of
glEnd.
