glTranslate(3G)
NAME
  glTranslate, glTranslated, glTranslatef - multiply the current matrix by a
  translation matrix

SYNOPSIS
  void glTranslated(
	  GLdouble x,
	  GLdouble y,
	  GLdouble z );

  void glTranslatef(
	  GLfloat x,
	  GLfloat y,
	  GLfloat z );

PARAMETERS
  x, y, z
      Specify the x, y, and z coordinates of a translation vector.

DESCRIPTION
  glTranslate() produces a translation by (x,y,z).  The current matrix (see
  glMatrixMode()) is multiplied by this translation matrix, with the product
  replacing the current matrix, as if glMultMatrix() were called with the
  following matrix for its argument:

       1 0 0 x
       0 1 0 y
       0 0 1 z
       0 0 0 1

  If the matrix mode is either GL_MODELVIEW or GL_PROJECTION, all objects
  drawn after a call to glTranslate() are translated.

  Use glPushMatrix() and glPopMatrix() to save and restore the untranslated
  coordinate system.

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

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet() with argument GL_MATRIX_MODE
       glGet() with argument GL_COLOR_MATRIX
       glGet() with argument GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX
       glGet() with argument GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX
       glGet() with argument GL_TEXTURE_MATRIX
