GLORTHO(3G)GLORTHO(3G)NAMEglOrtho - multiply the current matrix with an orthographic matrix
C SPECIFICATION
void glOrtho( GLdouble left,
GLdouble right,
GLdouble bottom,
GLdouble top,
GLdouble near_val,
GLdouble far_val )
PARAMETERS
left, right
Specify the coordinates for the left and right vertical clipping
planes.
bottom, top
Specify the coordinates for the bottom and top horizontal
clipping planes.
near_val, far_val
Specify the distances to the nearer and farther depth clipping
planes. These values are negative if the plane is to be behind
the viewer.
DESCRIPTIONglOrtho describes a transformation that produces a parallel projection.
The current matrix (see glMatrixMode) is multiplied by this matrix and
the result replaces the current matrix, as if glMultMatrix were called
with the following matrix as its argument:
left ( matrix {
ccol { {2 over {"right" - "left"}} above 0 above 0 above 0 }
ccol { 0 above {2 over {"top" - "bottom"}} above 0 above 0 }
ccol { 0 above 0 above {-2 over {"far_val" - "near_val"}} above 0
}
ccol { {t sub x}~ above {t sub y}~ above {t sub z}~ above 1~ } }
right )
where t sub x ~=~ -^{{"right" ~+~ "left"} over {"right" ~-~ "left"}}
t sub y ~=~ -^{{"top" ~+~ "bottom"} over {"top" ~-~ "bottom"}}
t sub z ~=~ -^{{"far_val" ~+~ "near_val"} over {"far_val" ~-~
"near_val"}}
Typically, the matrix mode is GL_PROJECTION, and (left, bottom,
-near_val) and (right, top, -near_val) specify the points on the near
clipping plane that are mapped to the lower left and upper right
corners of the window, respectively, assuming that the eye is located
at (0, 0, 0). -far_val specifies the location of the far clipping
plane. Both near_val and far_val can be either positive or negative.
Use glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix to save and restore the current matrix
stack.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glOrtho is executed between the
execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
