OpenGL code order

OpenGL maintains the current transformation;
Each OpenGL function call that defines a transformation, postmultiplies the current matrix:
All functions setting transformations should be before the object is drawn
The order of function calls corresponds to the order of matrices in math notation:

glRotate(theta,ax,ay,az);

glTranslatef(tx,ty,tz);glScalef(sx,sy,sz);

glBegin(GL_POINTS);

glVertex3f(px,py,pz);

glEnd();
