# GLKMatrixStackRotate(_:_:_:_:_:)

Replaces the contents of the top matrix with a matrix calculated by composing the top matrix with a rotation around an arbitrary axis.

## Declaration

```swift
func GLKMatrixStackRotate(_ stack: GLKMatrixStack, _ radians: Float, _ x: Float, _ y: Float, _ z: Float)
```

## Parameters

- `stack`: A matrix stack.
- `radians`: The angle of the rotation (a positive angle is counterclockwise).
- `x`: The x coordinate of the rotation axis.
- `y`: The y coordinate of the rotation axis.
- `z`: The z coordinate of the rotation axis.
