Apps (SOLVED)(OpenGL) Everything looks scaled/ translated along Z axis

[werner291]

Good morning,

I'm rather new to OpenGL programming, so please forgive me if this is easy to answer.

My goal is to display 3 line segments of unit lenght at the origin that each point down an axis.

Everything in my app looks translated and / or scaled along the Z axis, but I cannot find the cause.

Here's my rendering code:

    FloatBuffer axitMarkBuf;

    private final String vertexShaderCode =
            // This matrix member variable provides a hook to manipulate
            // the coordinates of the objects that use this vertex shader

        //}
    }

        int muMVPMatrixHandle = GLES20.glGetUniformLocation(mGLProgram, "uMVPMatrix");
        
        GLES20.glUniformMatrix4fv(muMVPMatrixHandle, 1, false, mMVPMatrix, 0);

        GLES20.glDisableVertexAttribArray(mPositionHandle);
    }
    

}

Note that the code refers to "Tunnel Sections". Those are for later and currently don't do anything.
