Sorry for the meager explanation, but I thought it was obvious when
viewing the manpages. Matrices are displayed with _huge_ vertical space:
>From gluPerspective(3x):
Given f defined as follows:
f=cotangent(fo2y)
The generated matrix is
aspect 0 0 0
0 f 0 0
.... and so on.
For the records, I am running unstable with groff-base 1.18.1-9.
