Using axis and angle of rotation in glrotate

Question

I followed the question here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/764313/quaternion-math-for-rotation to get an angle of rotation and the axis around which I need to rotate, My question is how do I pass the angle and axis as an argument to glrotate()?

Answer 1

If the axis is defined by the variables x, y, z, and the rotation angle is in the variable angle, then it's as simple as glRotatef(angle, x, y, z)

Answer 2

The double version is

glRotated(angle,x,y,z)

The float version is

glRotatef(angle, x, y, z)

The angle must be in degrees, so convert it to degrees first if it is in radians.
