You'll want to push and pop a matrix stack to do rotation. You can find demo code for glPushMatrix linked here: http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/glPushMatrix.3G.xml BTW, most OpenGL tutorials, such as the red book or NeHe will cover matrix-stack manipulations.

hi, thanks a lot for help! i tried using the glPushMatrix() and glPopMatrix() as suggested by the examples, but the coordinate system still seems to rotate. like when i rotate at initial position along x and y the rotation seems to be proper, but now after doing so if i rotate along z then my z axis seems to have changed ... giving a feeling that the coordiante system has changed? also is there a way to get the updated coordinates of the rotated object? regards "Mike C.

You can do this, and it is a tiny insy bit quicker than push/pop too, but may be prone to small float errors if you do it lots. a = 30. x,y,z = 1., 0., 0. # rotate to your place in the gl universe. glRotatef(a, x,y,z) something_rotated() # rotate back glRotatef(a,-x,-y,-z) You can get the current matrix with glLoadMatrix(...) but not the transformed coordinates. Well it is possible with shaders, with a bit of effort. Have fun! http://www.holepit.com/ |
