Hi guys. I''m all little confused when it comes to glRotate. Does glrotate affect all objects on screen? or does it only affect the commands in the next glBegin, glEnd clause? Thanx

I believe that it remains in effect until you specify another rotation, or perform a glLoadIdentity() call, this is because GL is a state machine. Like when you specify a colour, glColor4f(crap...) all primitives will be rendered with this colour until you clear the buffer glClear(COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) or something.

I think thats right.

glRotate() "rotates" the current transformation matrix, presumably modelview.. the current transformation matrix affects the commands within any glBegin()/glEnd() clause after it''s set, until it''s changed.
i dunno if that made any sense, i''m not terribly good at explaining things

Perhaps you already have, but I just want to let you know that if you haven''t, learn what the rotation algorithms are! It will cause all of the hardware stuff to make a lot more sense
