glTranslate

glTranslated, glTranslatef: multiply the current matrix by a translation matrix.

C Specification

void glTranslated(
    GLdouble	 x,
    GLdouble	 y,
    GLdouble	 z)
void glTranslatef(
    GLfloat	 x,
    GLfloat	 y,
    GLfloat	 z)

Parameters

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

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.
