.. c:function:: void glm_rotate(mat4 m, float angle, vec3 axis)
rotate existing transform matrix around Z axis by angle and axis
rotate existing transform matrix around given axis by angle at ORIGIN (0,0,0)
**❗IMPORTANT ❗️**
If you need to rotate object around itself e.g. center of object or at
some point [of object] then `glm_rotate_at()` would be better choice to do so.
Even if object's model transform is identiy, rotation may not be around
center of object if object does not lay out at ORIGIN perfectly.
Using `glm_rotate_at()` with center of bounding shape ( AABB, Sphere ... )
would be an easy option to rotate around object if object is not at origin.
One another option to rotate around itself at any point is `glm_spin()`
which is perfect if only rotating around model position is desired e.g. not
specific point on model for instance center of geometry or center of mass,
again if geometry is not perfectly centered at origin at identity transform,
rotation may not be around geometry.
Parameters:
| *[in, out]* **m** affine transform
