.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies a pointer to 16 consecutive values, which are used as the
elements of a $4 ~times~ 4$ column-major matrix. 
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd replaces the current matrix with the one whose elements are specified by
_param1.
The current matrix is the projection matrix,
modelview matrix,
or texture matrix,
depending on the current matrix mode
(see _cmnd(MatrixMode)).
.P
The current matrix, M, defines a transformation of coordinates.
For instance, assume M refers to the modelview matrix.
If  $v ~=~ (v[0], v[1], v[2], v[3])$ is the set of object coordinates
of a vertex,
and _param1 points to an array of $16$ 
single- or double-precision
floating-point values $m[0], m[1],. . .,m[15]$,
then the modelview transformation $M(v)$ does the following:

   ccol { ~m[8] above m[9] above m[10] above m[11] ~}
   ccol { ~m[12]~ above m[13]~ above m[14]~ above m[15]~}

ccol { ~v[0]~ above ~v[1]~ above ~v[2]~ above ~v[3]~ }
} right )} }}

Where ``$times$'' denotes matrix multiplication.

Projection and texture transformations are similarly defined.
.SH NOTES
While the elements of the matrix may be specified with
single or double precision, the GL implementation may
store or operate on these values in less than single
precision.
.SH ERRORS
_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd
is executed between the execution of _cmnd(Begin)
and the corresponding execution of _cmnd(End).
