translations

I have built up an object using basic 2d shapes and placed it in my scene. I am now wanting to transform the object. Do I have to transform all the individual shapes or is there a way to transform the object itself?

(The object is made up of lines and rectangles.)

Thanks

Search for hierarchical transformations...

You can use glPushMatrix() glPopMatrix() to select how to do the translations.

glPushMatrix();
transform_entire_object_here
glPushMatrix();
local_transformation_of_some_part_of_object
glPopMatrix();
glPushMatrix();
transform_other_part_of_object
glPopMatrix();
glPopMatrix();
