Rotating an object around a fixed point in opengl

Question

I have a problem with this openGL code:

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glPushMatrix(); // put current matrix on stack

//glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.         


        

Answer 1

Simply do the rotation after the translation. The order matters.

glTranslatef(xpos, ypos, zpos);
glRotatef(rotationAngle, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
