glRotate divide-by-zero
I think I understand why calling glRotate(#, 0, 0, 0) results in a divide-by-zero. The rotation vector, a, is normalized: a' = a/|a| = a/0
Is that the only situation glRotate could result in a divide-by-zero? Yes, I know glRotate is deprecated. Yes, I know the matrix is on the OpenG开发者_JAVA技巧L manual. No, I don't know linear algebra enough to confidently answer the question from the matrix. Yes, I think it would help. Yes, I asked this already in #opengl (can you tell?). And no, I didn't get an answer.
I would say yes. And I would say that you are right about the normalization step as well. The matrix shown in the OpenGL manual only consists of multiplications. And multiplying a vector would result into the same. Of course, it would do strange things if you result in a vector of (0,0,0)
. OpenGL states in the same manual that |x,y,z|=1
(or OpenGL will normalize).
So IF it wouldn't normalize, you would end up with a very empty matrix of:
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1
Which will implode your object in the strangest ways. So DON'T call this function with a zero-vector. If you would like to, tell me why.
And I recommend using a library like GLM to do your matrix calculations if it gets too complicated for some simple glRotate
s.
Why should it divide by zero when you can check for that?:

* Arbitrary axis rotation matrix.
*
* This is composed of 5 matrices, Rz, Ry, T, Ry', Rz', multiplied
* like so: Rz * Ry * T * Ry' * Rz'. T is the final rotation
* (which is about the X-axis), and the two composite transforms
* Ry' * Rz' and Rz * Ry are (respectively) the rotations necessary
* from the arbitrary axis to the X-axis then back. They are
* all elementary rotations.
*
* Rz' is a rotation about the Z-axis, to bring the axis vector
* into the x-z plane. Then Ry' is applied, rotating about the
* Y-axis to bring the axis vector parallel with the X-axis. The
* rotation about the X-axis is then performed. Ry and Rz are
* simply the respective inverse transforms to bring the arbitrary
* axis back to its original orientation. The first transforms
* Rz' and Ry' are considered inverses, since the data from the
* arbitrary axis gives you info on how to get to it, not how
* to get away from it, and an inverse must be applied.
*
* The basic calculation used is to recognize that the arbitrary
* axis vector (x, y, z), since it is of unit length, actually
* represents the sines and cosines of the angles to rotate the
* X-axis to the same orientation, with theta being the angle about
* Z and phi the angle about Y (in the order described above)
* as follows:
*
* cos ( theta ) = x / sqrt ( 1 - z^2 )
* sin ( theta ) = y / sqrt ( 1 - z^2 )
*
* cos ( phi ) = sqrt ( 1 - z^2 )
* sin ( phi ) = z
*
* Note that cos ( phi ) can further be inserted to the above
* formulas:
*
* cos ( theta ) = x / cos ( phi )
* sin ( theta ) = y / sin ( phi )
*
* ...etc. Because of those relations and the standard trigonometric
* relations, it is pssible to reduce the transforms down to what
* is used below. It may be that any primary axis chosen will give the
* same results (modulo a sign convention) using thie method.
*
* Particularly nice is to notice that all divisions that might
* have caused trouble when parallel to certain planes or
* axis go away with care paid to reducing the expressions.
* After checking, it does perform correctly under all cases, since
* in all the cases of division where the denominator would have
* been zero, the numerator would have been zero as well, giving
* the expected result.
