I'm using LWJGL and OpenGL 1.1 at this time and I was wondering what command is used to change the yaw, pitch and roll?

glRotatef

glRotatef(Angle.X, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) ;
glRotatef(Angle.Y, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f) ;
glRotatef(Angle.Z, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f) ;

(which of those angles are 'yaw', 'pitch', and 'roll', and the order in which you apply them, will depend on which axis you're considering to be 'up')

-1: For using Euler angles without any mention of the pitfalls of this. Like Gimbal Lock and such. – Nicol Bolas Jan 18 at 2:15
I didn't choose to use euler angles -- the OP did. It was explicitly a "what is the function to apply pitch/yaw/roll in this API" question, and my answer is the objectively correct answer to that question. If I'd provided an answer which said how to rotate by a quaternion or by a rotation matrix, it would not answer the question which was asked. – Trevor Powell Jan 18 at 2:56
With that said, it would absolutely be appropriate to provide a "here's why you may not want to do that" note as a comment on the question. It's just not an answer to the question that was asked. – Trevor Powell Jan 18 at 4:33
