NAME
     glPushMatrix, glPopMatrix - push and pop the current matrix stack


C SPECIFICATION
     void glPushMatrix(	void )


C SPECIFICATION
     void glPopMatrix( void )


DESCRIPTION
     There is a	stack of matrices for each of the matrix modes.	 In
     GL_MODELVIEW mode,	the stack depth	is at least 32.	 In the	other modes,
     GL_PROJECTION, GL_TEXTURE,	and GL_COLOR, the depth	is at least 2.	The
     current matrix in any mode	is the matrix on the top of the	stack for that
     mode.

     glPushMatrix pushes the current matrix stack down by one, duplicating the
     current matrix.  That is, after a glPushMatrix call, the matrix on	the
     top of the	stack is identical to the one below it.

     glPopMatrix pops the current matrix stack,	replacing the current matrix
     with the one below	it on the stack.

     Initially,	each of	the stacks contains one	matrix,	an identity matrix.

     It	is an error to push a full matrix stack, or to pop a matrix stack that
     contains only a single matrix.  In	either case, the error flag is set and
     no	other change is	made to	GL state.

ERRORS
     GL_STACK_OVERFLOW is generated if glPushMatrix is called while the
     current matrix stack is full.

     GL_STACK_UNDERFLOW	is generated if	glPopMatrix is called while the
     current matrix stack contains only	a single matrix.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glPushMatrix or glPopMatrix is
     executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution
     of	glEnd.
