## Name

gluProject - map object coordinates to window coordinates

## C Specification

GLint gluProject( GLdouble objX,

        GLdouble objY,
        GLdouble objZ,
        const GLdouble *model,
        const GLdouble *proj,
        const GLint *view,
        GLdouble* winX,
        GLdouble* winY,
        GLdouble* winZ )

eqn not supported

## Parameters

objX, objY, objZ
  Specify the object coordinates.
model
  Specifies the current modelview matrix (as from a glGetDoublev call).
proj
  Specifies the current projection matrix (as from a glGetDoublev call).
view
  Specifies the current viewport (as from a glGetIntegerv call).
winX, winY, winZ
  Return the computed window coordinates.

## Description

gluProject 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 GL_TRUE indicates success, a return value of GL_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 gluProject computes $v sup prime$ as follows:

where $P$ is the current projection matrix proj, $M$ is the current modelview matrix model (both represented as $4 times 4$ matrices in column-major order) and '$times$' represents matrix multiplication.

The window coordinates are then computed as follows:
