    Rotating a rectangle about a point....

    I want to rotate a rectangle about a point, but I want the bass to stay put while the rest of the block moves..

    The bass?

    If you make a rotation around a point the only point that stand still is the pivot.

    You can compute the rotation with a rotation matrix.

    No, I think he meant the bass.

    Anyway, a combination of glRotate/glTranslate should do the trick if you are lost in matrices.
