I''m From the Seattle area and around here there is a magazine called "Computer Source." Now they had a review of the new video cards coming out, and how they made use of Transformation and Lighting. Now I was in my linear algebra class at the time, so I felt I had a good grasp of the term "Transformation," which was analagious to a function only it took vectors instead of an "x" value. But what the magazine implied is that the TnL was used for triangle setup, or something like that. But from what I have read around here, it seems to support what I have come to undersand as a "Transfomation," like using opengl functions to rotate objects. What is the truth?

T&L hardware supports hardware transformation of vertices, i.e. the multiplication of vertices and matrices.

Vertex' = Matrix*Vertex;
