Transforming glClipPlane

[MButchers]

hi there,

im having problems with glClipPlane.
I can set up the plane no problem but
i cant seem to transform it currently
im doing -

glEnable(GL_CLIP_PLANE0);
glPushMatrix;
glTranslate(Position.x,Position.y,Position.z);
glClipPlane(GL_CLIP_PLANE0,@PlaneEqn);
glPopMatrix;

ive tried switching the glClipPlane and
glTranslate but with no success.

Thanks

Mark

Nobody??

I don't think clip planes are affected by any matrix operations.

if BOB is right, then you have to define the clipplane in a box of dimensions: x,y,z= -1 to 1, and you look along z-axis i think from 1 to -1 ...

cheers for the ideas,

BOB , in the red book where it explains
glClipPlane it sugests trying transformation
functions and changing the plane coeficients.
So i assume from this it can be done.

I also used to use clip planes for rendering
my GUI to limit the area rendered into before
I used glScissor.(cant remember how i did it
but im sure it was as above)

Besides whats the point of having user defined
clip planes if they cant be moved!!

Cheers

Mark

Just read throught the Red Book on clipping planes, and it seems like they are affected by the modelview matrix, so I was wrong on that one.

If you say that your glTranslatef does not affect the clipping plane, the only thing that I can think of is that you are translating the projection matrix.

hi there,

I dont think I am because I used to
have a call in there to glScale(1,-1,1) to
flip the geometry and this worked.

I will check tonight ( dont have code on
me! )

Cheers

Its not using glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION)
during this call!

Any other ideas anyone?

Thanks

WEll, you could try transforming the plane yourself?

Your answer doesn't convince me you are certain the modelview matrix is current when the function is called. Did you try putting a glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW) before that glPushMatrix?
