viewing system problem

[badass]

hi, im trying to generate a terrain..

i have a base square mesh called points and a randomly elevated mesh called mesh...
the points grid is on x-z plane with all heights set to 0...mesh is basically a copy of points but with random heights between 100 and 250...

my viewing system is perspective view...when i draw the mesh it seems as if the x and z coordinates go beyond minx and maxx and minz and maxz.. i dont know if the problem is with my viewing system or the coords because the x and z coords for mesh are exact copy of points..

below is the code

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>	
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <ctime>
int points[10000][12];
int mesh[10000][12];
int in_pts[12]={-200,-200,-200,-200,-100,-200,-170,-100,-200,-170,-200,-200};
int minx=-400,maxx=400,minz=-400,maxz=400,xinc=20,zinc=20;
int stack=0;
 
using namespace std;
 
void initialize()
{
	int x=minx,z=minz;
		for(z=minz;z<=maxz;z+=zinc) {
			for(int x=minx;x<=maxx;x+=xinc) {
					points[stack][0]=x;
					points[stack][1]=0;
					points[stack][2]=z;
					points[stack][3]=x;
					points[stack][4]=0;
					points[stack][5]=z+zinc;
					points[stack][6]=x+xinc;
					points[stack][7]=0;
					points[stack][8]=z+zinc;
					points[stack][9]=x+xinc;

					stack++;
 
			}
		}

ok heres a better version of code with the same problem...

ive elevated 3 rows..

the elevated mesh should be sitting right on top of the base mesh...but instead its a bit drifted to the sides..

note x and z for mesh[][] are copies from points[][] so im pretty sure its not the coords

 
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>	
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <ctime>
int points[10000][12];
int mesh[10000][12];
int in_pts[12]={-200,-200,-200,-200,-100,-200,-170,-100,-200,-170,-200,-200};
int minx=-400,maxx=400,minz=-400,maxz=400,xinc=20,zinc=20;
int stack=0; // count for squares
 
using namespace std;
 
void initialize()
{
	int x=minx,z=minz;
		for(z=minz;z<=maxz;z+=zinc) {  // row
			for(int x=minx;x<=maxx;x+=xinc) {  // coloums
					points[stack][0]=x;
					points[stack][1]=0;
					points[stack][2]=z;
					points[stack][3]=x;
					points[stack][4]=0;
					points[stack][5]=z+zinc;
					points[stack][6]=x+xinc;
					points[stack][7]=0;
					points[stack][8]=z+zinc;
					points[stack][9]=x+xinc;
					points[stack][10]=0;
					points[stack][11]=z;
					stack++;
