PROX − Creates a 3D homogeneous transformation matrix that executes a rotation about the x-axis. 

Operating States: PHOP, ∗, ∗, ∗
PHIGS standard function

Syntax

PROX (ROTANG, ERRIND, XFRMT)

Argument        Data Type       Access    Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROTANG          Real            Read      Rotation angle in radians; a
                                          positive number yields a
                                          counterclockwise rotation (when
                                          looking along the positive
                                          x-axis, towards the origin).
ERRIND          Integer         Write     Error indicator.
XFRMT(4,4)      Array of reals  Write     Transformation matrix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PROX creates a three-dimensional (4 x 4) homogeneous transformation matrix that performs the specified rotation about the x-axis.  If a rotation direction is counterclockwise, the rotation value is positive. 

The returned matrix can be passed to functions that require transformation matrices as input, such as the PSLMT3, PSGMT3, and PCOM3 functions.  To store a matrix in a structure element, you must pass it to the PSLMT3 or PSGMT3 function.
