GLORTHO(3G)			 OpenGL Manual			   GLORTHO(3G)

NAME
       glOrtho - multiply the current matrix with an orthographic matrix

C SPECIFICATION
       void glOrtho(GLdouble left, GLdouble right, GLdouble bottom,
		    GLdouble top, GLdouble nearVal, GLdouble farVal);

PARAMETERS
       left, right
	   Specify the coordinates for the left and right vertical clipping
	   planes.

       bottom, top
	   Specify the coordinates for the bottom and top horizontal clipping
	   planes.

       nearVal, farVal
	   Specify the distances to the nearer and farther depth clipping
	   planes. These values are negative if the plane is to be behind the
	   viewer.

DESCRIPTION
       glOrtho describes a transformation that produces a parallel projection.
       The current matrix (see glMatrixMode()) is multiplied by this matrix
       and the result replaces the current matrix, as if glMultMatrix() were
       called with the following matrix as its argument:

       2 right - left 0 0 t x 0 2 top - bottom 0 t y 0 0 -2 farVal - nearVal t
       z 0 0 0 1

       where t x = - right + left right - leftt y = - top + bottom top -
       bottomt z = - farVal + nearVal farVal - nearVal

       Typically, the matrix mode is GL_PROJECTION, and left bottom - nearVal
       and right top - nearVal specify the points on the near clipping plane
       that are mapped to the lower left and upper right corners of the
       window, respectively, assuming that the eye is located at (0, 0, 0).  -
       farVal specifies the location of the far clipping plane. Both nearVal
       and farVal can be either positive or negative.

       Use glPushMatrix() and glPopMatrix() to save and restore the current
       matrix stack.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if left = right, or bottom = top, or near
       = far.

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