EXPORTS
tesselate(Normal, Vs::[Vs]) -> {Triangles, VertexPos}
Types:
Normal = vertex()
Vs = vertex()
Triangles = [integer()]
VertexPos = binary()
General purpose polygon triangulation. The first argument is the normal and the
second a list of vertex positions. Returned is a list of indecies of the vertices
and a binary (64bit native float) containing an array of vertex positions, it
starts with the vertices in Vs and may contain newly created vertices in the end.
build1DMipmapLevels(Target, InternalFormat, Width, Format, Type, Level, Base, Max, Data)
-> integer()
Types:
Target = enum()
InternalFormat = integer()
Width = integer()
Format = enum()
Type = enum()
Level = integer()
Base = integer()
Max = integer()
Data = binary()
Builds a subset of one-dimensional mipmap levels
glu:build1DMipmapLevels builds a subset of prefiltered one-dimensional texture maps
of decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of
texture mapped primitives.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
A series of mipmap levels from Base to Max is built by decimating Data in half
until size 1×1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the halved mipmap level is
an average of the corresponding two texels in the larger mipmap level.
gl:texImage1D/8 is called to load these mipmap levels from Base to Max . If Max is
larger than the highest mipmap level for the texture of the specified size, then a
GLU error code is returned (see glu:errorString/1 ) and nothing is loaded.
For example, if Level is 2 and Width is 16, the following levels are possible:
16×1, 8×1, 4×1, 2×1, 1×1. These correspond to levels 2 through 6 respectively. If
Base is 3 and Max is 5, then only mipmap levels 8×1, 4×1 and 2×1 are loaded.
However, if Max is 7, then an error is returned and nothing is loaded since Max is
larger than the highest mipmap level which is, in this case, 6.
The highest mipmap level can be derived from the formula log 2(width×2 level).
See the gl:texImage1D/8 reference page for a description of the acceptable values
for Type parameter. See the gl:drawPixels/5 reference page for a description of the
acceptable values for Level parameter.

build1DMipmaps(Target, InternalFormat, Width, Format, Type, Data) -> integer()
Types:
Target = enum()
InternalFormat = integer()
Width = integer()
Format = enum()
Type = enum()
Data = binary()
Builds a one-dimensional mipmap
glu:build1DMipmaps builds a series of prefiltered one-dimensional texture maps of
decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of
texture mapped primitives.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
Initially, the Width of Data is checked to see if it is a power of 2. If not, a
copy of Data is scaled up or down to the nearest power of 2. (If Width is exactly
between powers of 2, then the copy of Data will scale upwards.) This copy will be
used for subsequent mipmapping operations described below. For example, if Width is
57, then a copy of Data will scale up to 64 before mipmapping takes place.
Then, proxy textures (see gl:texImage1D/8 ) are used to determine if the
implementation can fit the requested texture. If not, Width is continually halved
until it fits.
Next, a series of mipmap levels is built by decimating a copy of Data in half until
size 1×1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the halved mipmap level is an
average of the corresponding two texels in the larger mipmap level.
gl:texImage1D/8 is called to load each of these mipmap levels. Level 0 is a copy of
Data . The highest level is (log 2)(width). For example, if Width is 64 and the
implementation can store a texture of this size, the following mipmap levels are
built: 64×1, 32×1, 16×1, 8×1, 4×1, 2×1, and 1×1. These correspond to levels 0
through 6, respectively.
See the gl:texImage1D/8 reference page for a description of the acceptable values
for the Type parameter. See the gl:drawPixels/5 reference page for a description of
the acceptable values for the Data parameter.

Builds a subset of two-dimensional mipmap levels
glu:build2DMipmapLevels builds a subset of prefiltered two-dimensional texture maps
of decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of
texture mapped primitives.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
A series of mipmap levels from Base to Max is built by decimating Data in half
along both dimensions until size 1×1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the
halved mipmap level is an average of the corresponding four texels in the larger
mipmap level. (In the case of rectangular images, the decimation will ultimately
reach an N×1 or 1×N configuration. Here, two texels are averaged instead.)
gl:texImage2D/9 is called to load these mipmap levels from Base to Max . If Max is
larger than the highest mipmap level for the texture of the specified size, then a
GLU error code is returned (see glu:errorString/1 ) and nothing is loaded.
For example, if Level is 2 and Width is 16 and Height is 8, the following levels
are possible: 16×8, 8×4, 4×2, 2×1, 1×1. These correspond to levels 2 through 6
respectively. If Base is 3 and Max is 5, then only mipmap levels 8×4, 4×2, and 2×1
are loaded. However, if Max is 7, then an error is returned and nothing is loaded
since Max is larger than the highest mipmap level which is, in this case, 6.
The highest mipmap level can be derived from the formula log 2(max(width height)×2
level).
See the gl:texImage1D/8 reference page for a description of the acceptable values
for Format parameter. See the gl:drawPixels/5 reference page for a description of
the acceptable values for Type parameter.

Builds a two-dimensional mipmap
glu:build2DMipmaps builds a series of prefiltered two-dimensional texture maps of
decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of
texture-mapped primitives.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
Initially, the Width and Height of Data are checked to see if they are a power of
2. If not, a copy of Data (not Data ), is scaled up or down to the nearest power of
2. This copy will be used for subsequent mipmapping operations described below. (If
Width or Height is exactly between powers of 2, then the copy of Data will scale
upwards.) For example, if Width is 57 and Height is 23, then a copy of Data will
scale up to 64 in Width and down to 16 in depth, before mipmapping takes place.
Then, proxy textures (see gl:texImage2D/9 ) are used to determine if the
implementation can fit the requested texture. If not, both dimensions are
continually halved until it fits. (If the OpenGL version is (<= 1.0, both maximum
texture dimensions are clamped to the value returned by gl:getBooleanv/1 with the
argument ?GLU_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE .)
Next, a series of mipmap levels is built by decimating a copy of Data in half along
both dimensions until size 1×1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the halved
mipmap level is an average of the corresponding four texels in the larger mipmap
level. (In the case of rectangular images, the decimation will ultimately reach an
N×1 or 1×N configuration. Here, two texels are averaged instead.)
gl:texImage2D/9 is called to load each of these mipmap levels. Level 0 is a copy of
Data . The highest level is (log 2)(max(width height)). For example, if Width is 64
and Height is 16 and the implementation can store a texture of this size, the
following mipmap levels are built: 64×16, 32×8, 16×4, 8×2, 4×1, 2×1, and 1×1 These
correspond to levels 0 through 6, respectively.

Builds a subset of three-dimensional mipmap levels
glu:build3DMipmapLevels builds a subset of prefiltered three-dimensional texture
maps of decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing
of texture mapped primitives.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
A series of mipmap levels from Base to Max is built by decimating Data in half
along both dimensions until size 1×1×1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the
halved mipmap level is an average of the corresponding eight texels in the larger
mipmap level. (If exactly one of the dimensions is 1, four texels are averaged. If
exactly two of the dimensions are 1, two texels are averaged.) gl:texImage3D/10 is
called to load these mipmap levels from Base to Max . If Max is larger than the
highest mipmap level for the texture of the specified size, then a GLU error code
is returned (see glu:errorString/1 ) and nothing is loaded.
For example, if Level is 2 and Width is 16, Height is 8 and Depth is 4, the
following levels are possible: 16×8×4, 8×4×2, 4×2×1, 2×1×1, 1×1×1. These correspond
to levels 2 through 6 respectively. If Base is 3 and Max is 5, then only mipmap
levels 8×4×2, 4×2×1, and 2×1×1 are loaded. However, if Max is 7, then an error is
returned and nothing is loaded, since Max is larger than the highest mipmap level
which is, in this case, 6.
The highest mipmap level can be derived from the formula log 2(max(width height
depth)×2 level).

Builds a three-dimensional mipmap
glu:build3DMipmaps builds a series of prefiltered three-dimensional texture maps of
decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of
texture-mapped primitives.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
Initially, the Width , Height and Depth of Data are checked to see if they are a
power of 2. If not, a copy of Data is made and scaled up or down to the nearest
power of 2. (If Width , Height , or Depth is exactly between powers of 2, then the
copy of Data will scale upwards.) This copy will be used for subsequent mipmapping
operations described below. For example, if Width is 57, Height is 23, and Depth is
24, then a copy of Data will scale up to 64 in width, down to 16 in height, and up
to 32 in depth before mipmapping takes place.
Then, proxy textures (see gl:texImage3D/10 ) are used to determine if the
implementation can fit the requested texture. If not, all three dimensions are
continually halved until it fits.
Next, a series of mipmap levels is built by decimating a copy of Data in half along
all three dimensions until size 1×1×1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the
halved mipmap level is an average of the corresponding eight texels in the larger
mipmap level. (If exactly one of the dimensions is 1, four texels are averaged. If
exactly two of the dimensions are 1, two texels are averaged.)
gl:texImage3D/10 is called to load each of these mipmap levels. Level 0 is a copy
of Data . The highest level is (log 2)(max(width height depth)). For example, if
Width is 64, Height is 16, and Depth is 32, and the implementation can store a
texture of this size, the following mipmap levels are built: 64×16×32, 32×8×16,
16×4×8, 8×2×4, 4×1×2, 2×1×1, and 1×1×1. These correspond to levels 0 through 6,
respectively.

for Format parameter. See the gl:drawPixels/5 reference page for a description of
the acceptable values for Type parameter.

checkExtension(ExtName, ExtString) -> 0 | 1
Types:
ExtName = string()
ExtString = string()
Determines if an extension name is supported
glu:checkExtension returns ?GLU_TRUE if ExtName is supported otherwise ?GLU_FALSE
is returned.
This is used to check for the presence for OpenGL, GLU, or GLX extension names by
passing the extension strings returned by gl:getString/1 , glu:getString/1 , see
glXGetClientString , see glXQueryExtensionsString, or see glXQueryServerString,
respectively, as ExtString .
See external documentation.
cylinder(Quad, Base, Top, Height, Slices, Stacks) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Base = float()
Top = float()
Height = float()
Slices = integer()
Stacks = integer()
Draw a cylinder
glu:cylinder draws a cylinder oriented along the z axis. The base of the cylinder
is placed at z = 0 and the top at z=height. Like a sphere, a cylinder is subdivided
around the z axis into slices and along the z axis into stacks.
Note that if Top is set to 0.0, this routine generates a cone.
If the orientation is set to ?GLU_OUTSIDE (with glu:quadricOrientation/2 ), then
any generated normals point away from the z axis. Otherwise, they point toward the
z axis.
If texturing is turned on (with glu:quadricTexture/2 ), then texture coordinates
are generated so that t ranges linearly from 0.0 at z = 0 to 1.0 at z = Height ,
and s ranges from 0.0 at the +y axis, to 0.25 at the +x axis, to 0.5 at the -y
axis, to 0.75 at the -x axis, and back to 1.0 at the +y axis.
See external documentation.
deleteQuadric(Quad) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Destroy a quadrics object
glu:deleteQuadric destroys the quadrics object (created with glu:newQuadric/0 ) and
frees any memory it uses. Once glu:deleteQuadric has been called, Quad cannot be
used again.
See external documentation.
disk(Quad, Inner, Outer, Slices, Loops) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Inner = float()
Outer = float()
Slices = integer()
Loops = integer()
Draw a disk
glu:disk renders a disk on the z = 0 plane. The disk has a radius of Outer and
contains a concentric circular hole with a radius of Inner . If Inner is 0, then no
hole is generated. The disk is subdivided around the z axis into slices (like pizza
slices) and also about the z axis into rings (as specified by Slices and Loops ,
respectively).
With respect to orientation, the +z side of the disk is considered to be outside
(see glu:quadricOrientation/2 ). This means that if the orientation is set to
?GLU_OUTSIDE , then any normals generated point along the +z axis. Otherwise, they
point along the -z axis.
If texturing has been turned on (with glu:quadricTexture/2 ), texture coordinates
are generated linearly such that where r=outer, the value at (r, 0, 0) is (1, 0.5),
at (0, r, 0) it is (0.5, 1), at (-r, 0, 0) it is (0, 0.5), and at (0, -r, 0) it is
(0.5, 0).
See external documentation.
errorString(Error) -> string()
Types:
Error = enum()
Produce an error string from a GL or GLU error code
glu:errorString produces an error string from a GL or GLU error code. The string is
in ISO Latin 1 format. For example, glu:errorString(?GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY) returns the
string out of memory.
The standard GLU error codes are ?GLU_INVALID_ENUM, ?GLU_INVALID_VALUE, and
?GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY. Certain other GLU functions can return specialized error codes
through callbacks. See the gl:getError/0 reference page for the list of GL error
codes.
See external documentation.
getString(Name) -> string()
Types:
Name = enum()
Return a string describing the GLU version or GLU extensions
glu:getString returns a pointer to a static string describing the GLU version or
the GLU extensions that are supported.
The version number is one of the following forms:
major_number.minor_numbermajor_number.minor_number.release_number.
The version string is of the following form:
version number<space>vendor-specific information
Vendor-specific information is optional. Its format and contents depend on the
implementation.
The standard GLU contains a basic set of features and capabilities. If a company or
group of companies wish to support other features, these may be included as
extensions to the GLU. If Name is ?GLU_EXTENSIONS, then glu:getString returns a
space-separated list of names of supported GLU extensions. (Extension names never
contain spaces.)
All strings are null-terminated.
See external documentation.
lookAt(EyeX, EyeY, EyeZ, CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, UpX, UpY, UpZ) -> ok
Types:
EyeX = float()
EyeY = float()
EyeZ = float()
CenterX = float()
CenterY = float()
CenterZ = float()
UpX = float()
UpY = float()
UpZ = float()
Define a viewing transformation
glu:lookAt creates a viewing matrix derived from an eye point, a reference point
indicating the center of the scene, and an UP vector.
The matrix maps the reference point to the negative z axis and the eye point to the
origin. When a typical projection matrix is used, the center of the scene therefore
maps to the center of the viewport. Similarly, the direction described by the UP
vector projected onto the viewing plane is mapped to the positive y axis so that it
points upward in the viewport. The UP vector must not be parallel to the line of
sight from the eye point to the reference point.
Let
F=(centerX-eyeX centerY-eyeY centerZ-eyeZ)
Let UP be the vector (upX upY upZ).
Then normalize as follows: f=F/(||F||)
UP"=UP/(||UP||)
Finally, let s=f×UP", and u=s×f.
M is then constructed as follows: M=(s[0] s[1] s[2] 0 u[0] u[1] u[2]
0-f[0]-f[1]-f[2] 0 0 0 0 1)
and glu:lookAt is equivalent to glMultMatrixf(M); glTranslated(-eyex, -eyey,
-eyez);
See external documentation.
newQuadric() -> integer()
Create a quadrics object
glu:newQuadric creates and returns a pointer to a new quadrics object. This object
must be referred to when calling quadrics rendering and control functions. A return
value of 0 means that there is not enough memory to allocate the object.
See external documentation.
ortho2D(Left, Right, Bottom, Top) -> ok
Types:
Left = float()
Right = float()
Bottom = float()
Top = float()
Define a 2D orthographic projection matrix
glu:ortho2D sets up a two-dimensional orthographic viewing region. This is
equivalent to calling gl:ortho/6 with near=-1 and far=1.
See external documentation.
partialDisk(Quad, Inner, Outer, Slices, Loops, Start, Sweep) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Inner = float()
Outer = float()
Slices = integer()
Loops = integer()
Start = float()
Sweep = float()
Draw an arc of a disk
glu:partialDisk renders a partial disk on the z=0 plane. A partial disk is similar
to a full disk, except that only the subset of the disk from Start through Start +
Sweep is included (where 0 degrees is along the +f2yf axis, 90 degrees along the +x
axis, 180 degrees along the -y axis, and 270 degrees along the -x axis).
The partial disk has a radius of Outer and contains a concentric circular hole with
a radius of Inner . If Inner is 0, then no hole is generated. The partial disk is
subdivided around the z axis into slices (like pizza slices) and also about the z
axis into rings (as specified by Slices and Loops , respectively).
With respect to orientation, the +z side of the partial disk is considered to be
outside (see glu:quadricOrientation/2 ). This means that if the orientation is set
to ?GLU_OUTSIDE, then any normals generated point along the +z axis. Otherwise,
they point along the -z axis.
If texturing is turned on (with glu:quadricTexture/2 ), texture coordinates are
generated linearly such that where r=outer, the value at (r, 0, 0) is (1.0, 0.5),
at (0, r, 0) it is (0.5, 1.0), at (-r, 0, 0) it is (0.0, 0.5), and at (0, -r, 0) it
is (0.5, 0.0).
See external documentation.
perspective(Fovy, Aspect, ZNear, ZFar) -> ok
Types:
Fovy = float()
Aspect = float()
ZNear = float()
ZFar = float()
Set up a perspective projection matrix
glu:perspective specifies a viewing frustum into the world coordinate system. In
general, the aspect ratio in glu:perspective should match the aspect ratio of the
associated viewport. For example, aspect=2.0 means the viewer's angle of view is
twice as wide in x as it is in y. If the viewport is twice as wide as it is tall,
it displays the image without distortion.
The matrix generated by glu:perspective is multipled by the current matrix, just as
if gl:multMatrixd/1 were called with the generated matrix. To load the perspective
matrix onto the current matrix stack instead, precede the call to glu:perspective
with a call to gl:loadIdentity/0 .
Given f defined as follows:
f=cotangent(fovy/2) The generated matrix is
(f/aspect 0 0 0 0 f 0 0 0 0(zFar+zNear)/(zNear-zFar)(2×zFar×zNear)/(zNear-zFar) 0 0
-1 0)
See external documentation.
pickMatrix(X, Y, DelX, DelY, Viewport) -> ok
Types:
X = float()
Y = float()
DelX = float()
DelY = float()
Viewport = {integer(), integer(), integer(), integer()}
Define a picking region
glu:pickMatrix creates a projection matrix that can be used to restrict drawing to
a small region of the viewport. This is typically useful to determine what objects
are being drawn near the cursor. Use glu:pickMatrix to restrict drawing to a small
region around the cursor. Then, enter selection mode (with gl:renderMode/1 ) and
rerender the scene. All primitives that would have been drawn near the cursor are
identified and stored in the selection buffer.
The matrix created by glu:pickMatrix is multiplied by the current matrix just as if
gl:multMatrixd/1 is called with the generated matrix. To effectively use the
generated pick matrix for picking, first call gl:loadIdentity/0 to load an identity
matrix onto the perspective matrix stack. Then call glu:pickMatrix, and, finally,
call a command (such as glu:perspective/4 ) to multiply the perspective matrix by
the pick matrix.
When using glu:pickMatrix to pick NURBS, be careful to turn off the NURBS property
?GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX. If ?GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX is not turned off, then any NURBS
surface rendered is subdivided differently with the pick matrix than the way it was
subdivided without the pick matrix.
See external documentation.
project(ObjX, ObjY, ObjZ, Model, Proj, View) -> {integer(), WinX::float(), WinY::float(),
WinZ::float()}
Types:
ObjX = float()
ObjY = float()
ObjZ = float()
Model = matrix()
Proj = matrix()
View = {integer(), integer(), integer(), integer()}
Map object coordinates to window coordinates
glu:project transforms the specified object coordinates into window coordinates
using Model , Proj , and View . The result is stored in WinX , WinY , and WinZ . A
return value of ?GLU_TRUE indicates success, a return value of ?GLU_FALSE indicates
failure.
To compute the coordinates, let v=(objX objY objZ 1.0) represented as a matrix with
4 rows and 1 column. Then glu:project computes v" as follows:
v"=P×M×v
where P is the current projection matrix Proj and M is the current modelview matrix
Model (both represented as 4×4 matrices in column-major order).
The window coordinates are then computed as follows:
winX=view(0)+view(2)×(v"(0)+1)/2
winY=view(1)+view(3erl)×(v"(1)+1)/2
winZ=(v"(2)+1)/2
See external documentation.
quadricDrawStyle(Quad, Draw) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Draw = enum()
Specify the draw style desired for quadrics
glu:quadricDrawStyle specifies the draw style for quadrics rendered with Quad . The
legal values are as follows:
?GLU_FILL: Quadrics are rendered with polygon primitives. The polygons are drawn in
a counterclockwise fashion with respect to their normals (as defined with
glu:quadricOrientation/2 ).
?GLU_LINE: Quadrics are rendered as a set of lines.
?GLU_SILHOUETTE: Quadrics are rendered as a set of lines, except that edges
separating coplanar faces will not be drawn.
?GLU_POINT: Quadrics are rendered as a set of points.
See external documentation.
quadricNormals(Quad, Normal) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Normal = enum()
Specify what kind of normals are desired for quadrics
glu:quadricNormals specifies what kind of normals are desired for quadrics rendered
with Quad . The legal values are as follows:
?GLU_NONE: No normals are generated.
?GLU_FLAT: One normal is generated for every facet of a quadric.
?GLU_SMOOTH: One normal is generated for every vertex of a quadric. This is the
initial value.
See external documentation.
quadricOrientation(Quad, Orientation) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Orientation = enum()
Specify inside/outside orientation for quadrics
glu:quadricOrientation specifies what kind of orientation is desired for quadrics
rendered with Quad . The Orientation values are as follows:
?GLU_OUTSIDE: Quadrics are drawn with normals pointing outward (the initial value).
?GLU_INSIDE: Quadrics are drawn with normals pointing inward.
Note that the interpretation of outward and inward depends on the quadric being
drawn.
See external documentation.
quadricTexture(Quad, Texture) -> ok
Types:
Quad = integer()
Texture = 0 | 1
Specify if texturing is desired for quadrics
glu:quadricTexture specifies if texture coordinates should be generated for
quadrics rendered with Quad . If the value of Texture is ?GLU_TRUE, then texture
coordinates are generated, and if Texture is ?GLU_FALSE, they are not. The initial
value is ?GLU_FALSE.
The manner in which texture coordinates are generated depends upon the specific
quadric rendered.
See external documentation.
scaleImage(Format, WIn, HIn, TypeIn, DataIn, WOut, HOut, TypeOut, DataOut) -> integer()
Types:
Format = enum()
WIn = integer()
HIn = integer()
TypeIn = enum()
DataIn = binary()
WOut = integer()
HOut = integer()
TypeOut = enum()
DataOut = mem()
Scale an image to an arbitrary size
glu:scaleImage scales a pixel image using the appropriate pixel store modes to
unpack data from the source image and pack data into the destination image.
When shrinking an image, glu:scaleImage uses a box filter to sample the source
image and create pixels for the destination image. When magnifying an image, the
pixels from the source image are linearly interpolated to create the destination
image.
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned
(see glu:errorString/1 ).
See the gl:readPixels/7 reference page for a description of the acceptable values

Draw a sphere
glu:sphere draws a sphere of the given radius centered around the origin. The
sphere is subdivided around the z axis into slices and along the z axis into stacks
(similar to lines of longitude and latitude).
If the orientation is set to ?GLU_OUTSIDE (with glu:quadricOrientation/2 ), then
any normals generated point away from the center of the sphere. Otherwise, they
point toward the center of the sphere.
If texturing is turned on (with glu:quadricTexture/2 ), then texture coordinates
are generated so that t ranges from 0.0 at z=-radius to 1.0 at z=radius (t
increases linearly along longitudinal lines), and s ranges from 0.0 at the +y axis,
to 0.25 at the +x axis, to 0.5 at the -y axis, to 0.75 at the -x axis, and back to
1.0 at the +y axis.

Map window coordinates to object coordinates
glu:unProject maps the specified window coordinates into object coordinates using
Model , Proj , and View . The result is stored in ObjX , ObjY , and ObjZ . A return
value of ?GLU_TRUE indicates success; a return value of ?GLU_FALSE indicates
failure.
To compute the coordinates (objX objY objZ), glu:unProject multiplies the
normalized device coordinates by the inverse of Model * Proj as follows:
(objX objY objZ W)=INV(P M) ((2(winX-view[0]))/(view[2])-1(2(winY-
view[1]))/(view[3])-1 2(winZ)-1 1) INV denotes matrix inversion. W is an unused
variable, included for consistent matrix notation.
