glLoadMatrixd, glLoadMatrixf

The glLoadMatrixd and glLoadMatrixf functions replace the current matrix with an arbitrary matrix.

void glLoadMatrixd(
  const GLdouble *m   
);
 
void glLoadMatrixf(
  const GLfloat *m   
);
 

Parameters

m

A pointer to a 4x4 matrix stored in column-major order as 16 consecutive values.

Remarks

The glLoadMatrix function replaces the current matrix with the one specified in m. The current matrix is the projection matrix, modelview matrix, or texture matrix, determined by the current matrix mode (see glMatrixMode).

The m parameter points to a 4x4 matrix of single- or double-precision floating-point values stored in column-major order. That is, the matrix is stored as follows:

The following functions retrieve information related to glLoadMatrix:
