4. Geometry and Transformations

OpenGL has a simple and powerful transformation model. Since the transformation machinery in OpenGL is exposed in the form of the modelview and projection matrices, it is possible to develop novel uses for the transformation pipeline. This section describes some useful transformation techniques, and provides some additional insight into the OpenGL graphics pipeline.
