# get\_translation\_matrix(3alleg)

Constructs a translation matrix. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

get\_translation\_matrix, get\_translation\_matrix\_f - Constructs a translation matrix. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<allegro.h\>**

**void get\_translation\_matrix(MATRIX \*m, fixed x, fixed y, fixed z);**

**void get\_translation\_matrix\_f(MATRIX\_f \*m, float x, float y, float z);**

## DESCRIPTION

Constructs a translation matrix, storing it in m. When applied to the  point (px, py, pz), this matrix will produce the point (px+x, py+y,  pz+z). In other words, it moves things sideways.
