GLUUNPROJECT4(3G) OpenGL Manual GLUUNPROJECT4(3G)
NAME
gluUnProject4 - map window and clip coordinates to object coordinates
C SPECIFICATION
GLint gluUnProject4(GLdouble winX, GLdouble winY, GLdouble winZ, GLdouble clipW, const GLdouble * model, const GLdouble * proj,
const GLint * view, GLdouble nearVal, GLdouble farVal, GLdouble* objX, GLdouble* objY, GLdouble* objZ, GLdouble* objW);
PARAMETERS
winX, winY, winZ
Specify the window coordinates to be mapped.
clipW
Specify the clip w coordinate to be mapped.
model
Specifies the modelview matrix (as from a glGetDoublev() call).
proj
Specifies the projection matrix (as from a glGetDoublev() call).
view
Specifies the viewport (as from a glGetIntegerv() call).
nearVal, farVal
Specifies the near and far planes (as from a glGetDoublev() call).
objX, objY, objZ, objW
Returns the computed object coordinates.
DESCRIPTION
gluUnProject4 maps the specified window coordinatesi: winX, winY, and winZ and its clip w coordinate clipW into object coordinates objX
objY objZ objW using model, proj, and view. clipW can be other than 1 as for vertices in glFeedbackBuffer() when data type
GLU_4D_COLOR_TEXTURE is returned. This also handles the case where the nearVal and farVal planes are different from the default, 0 and 1,
respectively. A return value of GLU_TRUE indicates success; a return value of GLU_FALSE indicates failure.
To compute the coordinates objX objY objZ objW, gluUnProject4 multiplies the normalized device coordinates by the inverse of model * proj
as follows:
objX objY objZ objW = INV P M 2 winX - view 0 view 2 - 1 2 winY - view 1 view 3 - 1 2 winZ - nearVal farVal - nearVal - 1 clipW
INV denotes matrix inversion.
gluUnProject4 is equivalent to gluUnProject() when clipW is 1, nearVal is 0, and farVal is 1.
NOTES
gluUnProject4 is available only if the GLU version is 1.3 or greater.
