glMatrixMode(3G)
NAME
  glMatrixMode - specify which matrix is the current matrix

SYNOPSIS
  void glMatrixMode(
	  GLenum mode );

PARAMETERS
  mode
      Specifies which matrix stack is the target for subsequent matrix
      operations. Three values are accepted: GL_MODELVIEW, GL_PROJECTION, and
      GL_TEXTURE. The initial value is GL_MODELVIEW.  Additionally, if the
      GL_ARB_imaging extension is supported, GL_COLOR is also accepted.

DESCRIPTION
  glMatrixMode() sets the current matrix mode.	mode can assume one of four
  values:

  GL_MODELVIEW
      Applies subsequent matrix operations to the modelview matrix stack.

  GL_PROJECTION
      Applies subsequent matrix operations to the projection matrix stack.

  GL_TEXTURE
      Applies subsequent matrix operations to the texture matrix stack.

  GL_COLOR
      Applies subsequent matrix operations to the color matrix stack.

  To find out which matrix stack is currently the target of all matrix
  operations, call glGet() with argument GL_MATRIX_MODE. The initial value is
  GL_MODELVIEW.

ERRORS
  GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

  GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glMatrixMode() is executed between the
  execution of glBegin() and the corresponding execution of glEnd().

ASSOCIATED GETS
  glGet() with argument GL_MATRIX_MODE
