I don't understand why you are indenting
the function calls. What does the
indentation and spacing signify?
Or, to put it another way:
I don't understand why you
{
are indenting
{
the function calls.
}
What does the
}
indentation signify?

Thank goodness it isn't, in general.
But if you want people to point at you and laugh in the street, you can do
this:
pushMatrix()
if True:
drawStuff();
pushMatrix();
if True:
drawSomeOtherStuff()
popMatrix();
popMatrix();

Some people
have a strange
idea of
"increase
readability".
