[a5] Missing documentation for functions

al_rotate_transform_3d
al_translate_transform_3d
al_perspective_transform
al_set_projection_transform
al_check_inverse //notice how this one shows up.

These are used in examples, but have no documentation associated with them.

Have you checked the official docs? Or just the forums? Matthew needs to regen the a.cc docs to get the forums to see the new functions.

Allegro.cc docs are still on 5.0.

Goodness! I didn't realize! Thanks!

a5docs said:

void al_perspective_transform(ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM *trans,
float left, float top, float n,
float right, float bottom, float f)

But it doesn't document what n and f are. Are those near and far? What are those exactly?

The near and far clipping planes, yes, and the ratio affects the precision of the depth buffer.

n/f should be renamed to near/far in code (the documentation takes the parameter names from there).

Wait. Did I accidentally post in a.CC comments or did someone move it here?
