glPushMatrix() 和 glPopMatrix() 如何保持场景相同?

I found some code online which will move a box across the screen, then reset it after the box hits the end of the screen.
Here is the code:

void display(void) {
  int sign = 1;
  if (lastFrameTime == 0) {
    /*
     * sets lastFrameTime to be the number of milliseconds since
     * Init() was called;
     */
    lastFrameTime = glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME);
  }

  int now = glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME);
  int elapsedMilliseconds = now - lastFrameTime;
  float elapsedTime = float(elapsedMilliseconds) / 1000.0f;
  lastFrameTime = now;

  int windowWidth = glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_WIDTH);

  if (boxX > windowWidth) {
    boxX -= windowWidth;
  }
  boxX += (sign)*256.0f * elapsedTime;

  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

  glPushMatrix();
  //creates a new matrix at the top that we can do things to?
  glTranslatef(boxX, 0.0f, 0.0f);

  /*
   * draw a "quad" (rectangle)
   */
  glBegin(GL_QUADS);
  glVertex2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
  glVertex2f(128.0f, 0.0f);
  glVertex2f(128.0f, 128.0f);
  glVertex2f(0.0f, 128.0f);
  glEnd();
  glPopMatrix();
  //pops that matrix off the stack so we can have a "clean" version to do something next time.?

  glutSwapBuffers();
}

现在，我理解的方式glPushMatrix() 和 glPopMatrix() 是 glPushMatrix() 在堆栈上放置(或推送)一个新矩阵供您执行操作，以便在您将其弹出后再次拥有干净"的石板.这就是为什么，如果我忽略 glEnd() 之后的 glPopMatrix()，我的方块似乎在加速而不是匀速移动.
