.SH PARAMETERS
.TP \w'\f2objX\fP\ \f2objY\fP\ \f2objZ\fP\ \ 'u 
\f2objX\fP, \f2objY\fP, \f2objZ\fP
Specify the object coordinates.
.TP
\f2model\fP
Specifies the current modelview matrix (as from a \f3glGetDoublev\fP call).
.TP
\f2proj\fP
Specifies the current projection matrix (as from a \f3glGetDoublev\fP call).
.TP
\f2view\fP
Specifies the current viewport (as from a \f3glGetIntegerv\fP call).
.TP
\f2winX\fP, \f2winY\fP, \f2winZ\fP
Return the computed window coordinates.
.SH DESCRIPTION
\%\f3gluProject\fP transforms the specified object coordinates into window coordinates
using \f2model\fP, \f2proj\fP, and \f2view\fP. The result is stored 
in \f2winX\fP, \f2winY\fP, and \f2winZ\fP. A return value of 
\%\f3GL_TRUE\fP indicates success, a return value of \%\f3GL_FALSE\fP
indicates failure.
.P
To compute the coordinates,
let $v ~=~ ("objX", "objY", "objZ", 1.0)$
represented as a matrix with 4 rows and 1 column.
Then \%\f3gluProject\fP computes $v sup prime$
as follows: 
.sp
.EQ
v sup prime ~=~ P ~times~ M ~times~ v
.EN
.sp
where $P$ is the current projection matrix \f2proj\fP, $M$ is the current
modelview matrix \f2model\fP (both represented as
$4 times 4$ matrices in column-major order) and '$times$' represents
matrix multiplication. 
.P 
The window coordinates are then computed as follows: 
.sp
.EQ
"winX" ~=~ "view" (0) ~+~ "view" (2) ~*~ (v sup prime (0) ~+~ 1)~/~2 
.EN
.sp
.EQ
"winY" ~=~ "view" (1) ~+~ "view" (3)~*~(v sup prime (1) ~+~ 1)~/~2 .EN

"winZ" ~=~ (v sup prime (2)  ~+~ 1)~/~ 2
