NAME

rot − rotates graphical primitives (floating point version)

SPECIFICATION

C
rot(a, axis)
float a;
char axis;

FORTRAN
subroutine rot(a, axis)
real a
character axis

Pascal
procedure rot(a: real; axis: longint);

DESCRIPTION

rot specifies an angle (a) and an axis of rotation (axis).  The floating point angle is given in degrees according to the right-hand rule.  The axis of rotation is defined by a character, either ´x´, ´y´, or ´z´ (the character can be upper- or lowercase). 

rot is a modeling routine; it changes the current transformation matrix.  All objects drawn after rot executes are rotated.  Use pushmatrix and popmatrix to preserve and restore an unrotated world space.
