This command will change the visual properties of the matrix.

SET MATRIX Matrix Number, Wire, Transparency, Cull, Filter, Light, Fog, Ambient

Matrix Number

Integer
The matrix number

Wire

Integer
When the wireframe flag is set to 1, the matrix only shows it"s wireframe form

Transparency

Integer
When the transparency flag is set to 1, all parts of the matrix colored black are not drawn to the screen

Cull

Integer
When the cull flag is set to 0, the matrix will draw polygons normally hidden due to the direction the polygon faces

Filter

Integer
A Filter value of zero does no mipmapping, a value of one uses no smoothing and a value of two uses Linear Filtering

Light

Integer
The Light Flag activates and deactivates the matrices sensitivity to any lights in the scene

Fog

Integer
The Fog Flag activates and deactivates the matrices sensitivity to fog in the scene

Ambient

Integer
he Ambient Flag activates and deactivates the matrices sensitivity to ambient light in the scene

This command does not return a value.

When the wireframe flag is set to 1, the matrix only shows it"s wireframe form. When the transparency flag is set to 1, all parts of the matrix colored black are not drawn to the screen. When the cull flag is set to 0, the matrix will draw polygons normally hidden due to the direction the polygon faces. The Filter Value sets the texture filtering, which controls the smoothing effect of the texture as it is mapped to the object. A Filter value of zero does no mipmapping, a value of one uses no smoothing and a value of two uses Linear Filtering. The Light Flag activates and deactivates the matrices sensitivity to any lights in the scene. The Fog Flag activates and deactivates the matrices sensitivity to fog in the scene. The Ambient Flag activates and deactivates the matrices sensitivity to ambient light in the scene. The matrix number and flag values should be specified using integer values.
