<function>glPolygonMode</function> controls the interpretation of polygons for rasterization.
|

<parameter>face</parameter> describes which polygons <parameter>mode</parameter> applies to:
|

both front and back-facing polygons (<constant>GL_FRONT_AND_BACK</constant>).
|
|
The polygon mode affects only the final rasterization of polygons.
|
|
In particular,
|
|
a polygon's vertices are lit and
|
|
the polygon is clipped and possibly culled before these modes are applied.

Edge flags are generated internally by the GL when it decomposes

triangle stips and fans.
