rotate(3G) rotate(3G)
NAME
rotate - rotates graphical primitives
SPECIFICATION
C rotate(a, axis)
Angle a;
char axis;
FORTRAN subroutine rotate(a, axis)
integer*4 a
character axis
DESCRIPTION
rotate specifies an angle (a) and an axis of rotation
(axis). The angle (a) is given in tenths of degrees
according to the right-hand rule. The axis of rotation
(axis) is defined by a character, either 'x', 'y', or 'z'.
(The character can be upper- or lowercase.)
rotate is a modeling routine; it changes the current
transformation matrix. All objects drawn after rotate
executes are rotated. Use pushmatrix and popmatrix to
preserve and restore an unrotated world space.
