C SPECIFICATION
void GLAPIENTRY glFrustum( GLdouble left,
GLdouble righ )
PARAMETERS
left, righ Specify the coordinates for the left and right vertical
clipping planes.
_param3, _param4
Specify the coordinates for the bottom and top horizontal
clipping planes.
_param5, _param6
Specify the distances to the near and far depth clipping
planes. Both distances must be positive.
DESCRIPTION
glFrustum describes a perspective matrix that produces a perspective
projection. The current matrix (see glMatrixMode) is multiplied by
this matrix and the result replaces the current matrix, as if
glMultMatrix were called with the following matrix as its argument:
_<I>r_e<I>i_q<I>g_n<I>h_p_a<I>l_r<I>e_a<I>f_m<I>t__ 0 A 0
0 _e_q_n_p_<I>a_<I>r_e<I>a_q<I>m_n_p_a_r<I>e_a<I>q_m<I>n_<I>p_a_r_a_m__ B 0

Typically, the matrix mode is GL_PROJECTION, and (left, _param3,
-_param5) and (righ, _param4, -_param5) specify the points on the near
clipping plane that are mapped to the lower left and upper right cor-
ners of the window, assuming that the eye is located at (0, 0, 0).
-_param6 specifies the location of the far clipping plane. Both
_param5 and _param6 must be positive.
Use glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix to save and restore the current matrix
stack.
NOTES
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glFrustum is executed between the
execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
