Rotation point?!

[M109uk]

Hi all,

Is there any way of setting an axis point for rotation?

Im currently using glRotate(angle, 0,0,1); but this will rotate the texture by its lower left cornour, but i want it to be rotated by maybe the center of the texture or maybe the top right cornour!
Is this possible?

Thanx for any help

If you want to mess with the texture matrix then you have to multiply it with a translation matrix (to bring it's center point to 0,0), then by rotation matrix and another translation matrix to get it back in position, but if you're transforming not a lot of points it will be faster to just rotate texture coordinates by hand.
X:= X ?¢_" CenterX;
Y:= Y ?¢_" CenterY;
NewX:= X * Cos(Angle) ?¢_" Y * Sin(Angle) + CenterX;
NewY:= Y * Cos(Angle) + X * Sin(Angle) + CenterY;

Thanx,

I think i understand what you mean, i have to translate to the center of the texture, rotate it then translate it back to original?

I have tried the following just to get it working:
[pascal]
glPushMatrix;
glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE);
glLoadIdentity;

.... Other code ....

Center[0] := Width of face div 2
Center[1] := Height of face div 2

X := 0-Center[0]; // Gives me the lower left cornour
// X := 1-Center[0]; // Gives me the upper right cornour
Y := 0-Center[1]; // Gives me the lower left cornour
// Y := 1-Center[1]; // Gives me the upper right cornour

X := X*Cos(Angle)-Y*Sin(Angle)+Center[0];
Y := Y*Cos(Angle)-X*Sin(Angle)+Center[1];

Angle := Rotation*ElapsedTime;

glTranslatef(X, Y, 0);
glRotatef(Angle, 0, 0, 1);
glTranslatef(-X, -Y, 0);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
[/pascal]

Im guessing im doing something wrong here?

Ok no worries, i have solved my problem (by mistake).

I just simply used:
[pascal]
glTranslatef(0.5, 0.5, 0);
glRotatef(Rotation*ElapsedTime);
glTranslatef(-0.5, 0.5, 0);
[/pascal]

and it works great.

Thanx again for you help
