[gl4java-usergroup] Building a cube consisting of glutSolidCubes

[Lars Beyer-O. <lar...@hi...>]

First posting.

I'm really new at this, so I hope this question is not to simple.
What I want to do is to draw a wired cube consisting of glutSolidCubes,
and rotate the cube like it was one object.

This is the code for drawing the one of the six sides of the cube.

 //Left-side
 gl.glLoadIdentity();
 gl.glTranslatef(-1.0f, 2.0f, -20.0f);
 gl.glRotatef(90.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
 gl.glScalef(6.0f, 0.5f, 0.6f);
 glut.glutSolidCube(1.0f);

 //Lower-side
 gl.glLoadIdentity();
 gl.glTranslatef(1.0f, 0.0f, -20.0f);
 gl.glScalef(6.0f, 0.5f, 0.6f);
 glut.glutSolidCube(1.0f);

 //Right-side
 gl.glLoadIdentity();
 gl.glTranslatef(3.0f, 2.0f, -20.0f);
 gl.glPushMatrix();
 gl.glRotatef(90.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
 gl.glScalef(6.0f, 0.5f, 0.6f);
 glut.glutSolidCube(1.0f);

 //Upper-side
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glTranslatef(1.0f, 4.0f, -20.0f);
gl.glScalef(6.0f, 0.5f, 0.6f);
glut.glutSolidCube(1.0);

I build the rest of the cube in the same way, just translating the
glutSolidCubes around.
My problem arises when i want to rotate all the glutSolidCubes as one
object.
I know how to rotate the glutSolidCubes as individual objects, but I
don't get anywhere
with that (do I ?).

Anyone with a solution?
