rotation

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
