1991-2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc. gluBeginCurve 3G gluBeginCurve delimit a NURBS curve definition C Specification void gluBeginCurve GLUnurbs* nurb C Specification void gluEndCurve GLUnurbs* nurb Parameters nurb Specifies the NURBS object (created with gluNewNurbsRenderer). Description Use gluBeginCurve to mark the beginning of a NURBS curve definition. After calling gluBeginCurve, make one or more calls to gluNurbsCurve to define the attributes of the curve. Exactly one of the calls to gluNurbsCurve must have a curve type of GLU_MAP1_VERTEX_3 or GLU_MAP1_VERTEX_4. To mark the end of the NURBS curve definition, call gluEndCurve. GL evaluators are used to render the NURBS curve as a series of line segments. Evaluator state is preserved during rendering with glPushAttrib(GLU_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 curve with normals; texture coordinates and normals are also specified as NURBS curves: gluBeginCurve(nobj); gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_2); gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_NORMAL); gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_VERTEX_4); gluEndCurve(nobj); See Also gluBeginSurface, gluBeginTrim, gluNewNurbsRenderer, gluNurbsCurve, glPopAttrib, glPushAttrib Copyright Copyright 1991-2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
