NAME
gluBeginSurface, gluEndSurface - delimit a NURBS surface
definition
C SPECIFICATION
void gluBeginSurface( GLUnurbs* nurb )
void gluEndSurface( GLUnurbs* nurb )
PARAMETERS
nurb Specifies the NURBS object (created with
gluNewNurbsRenderer).
DESCRIPTION
Use gluBeginSurface to mark the beginning of a NURBS surface
definition. After calling gluBeginSurface, make one or more
calls to gluNurbsSurface to define the attributes of the
surface. Exactly one of these calls to gluNurbsSurface must
have a surface type of GL_MAP2_VERTEX_3 or GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4.
To mark the end of the NURBS surface definition, call
gluEndSurface.
Trimming of NURBS surfaces is supported with gluBeginTrim,
gluPwlCurve, gluNurbsCurve, and gluEndTrim. See the
gluBeginTrim reference page for details.
GL evaluators are used to render the NURBS surface as a set
of polygons. Evaluator state is preserved during rendering
with glPushAttrib(GL_EVAL_BIT) and glPopAttrib(). See the
glPushAttrib reference page for details on exactly what
state these calls preserve.
EXAMPLE
The following commands render a textured NURBS surface with
normals; the texture coordinates and normals are also
described as NURBS surfaces:
gluBeginSurface(nobj);
gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_2);
gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_NORMAL);
gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4);
gluEndSurface(nobj);
