Hi,
When i use the glFrustum funtion to set up my projection matrix, it works fine. But as soon as I want to calculate the matrix myself, it does not work.

Following code works:

glViewport( 0, 0, (GLsizei)w, (GLsizei)h );


glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );

glLoadIdentity();

glFrustum( -.4, .4, -.3, .3, 1., 1300. );

glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );


// continues

the following does not :(

glViewport( 0, 0, (GLsizei)w, (GLsizei)h );


glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );

glLoadIdentity();

matrix4x4 projection;

projection = calculateFrustum(-.4, .4, -.3, .3, 1., 1300.);

glLoadMatrixf(projection);

glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );


// code continues

Some how my calculation of the Frustum matrix does not match that of the one calculated by the openGl. Can you please point out whats wrong in here.

I am using the defination given on the following page for "calculateFrsutum" funtions call:

Make sure you store your matrix in column major order, since that's how OpenGL will expect it. The "natural" way to store a matrix in C uses row major order. You'll have to transpose to interchange the two.
