<function>gluTessNormal</function> describes a normal for a polygon that the program is defining.
|
|
All input data will be projected onto a plane perpendicular to one of
|
|
the three coordinate axes before tessellation and all output triangles
|
|
will be oriented CCW with
|
|
respect to the normal (CW orientation can be obtained by reversing the
|
|
sign of the supplied normal). For example, if you know that all polygons
|
|
lie in the x-y plane, call <function>gluTessNormal</function>(tess, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
|
|
before rendering any polygons.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the supplied normal is (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) (the initial value), the normal is
|
|
determined as follows. The direction of the normal, up to its sign, is
|
|
found by fitting a plane to the vertices, without regard to how the
|
|
vertices are connected. It is expected that the input data lies approximately
|
|
in the plane; otherwise, projection perpendicular to one of the three
|
|
coordinate axes may substantially change the geometry. The sign of the
|
|
normal is chosen so that the sum of the signed areas of all input
|
|
contours is nonnegative (where a CCW contour has positive area).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The supplied normal persists until it is changed by another call to
|
|
<function>gluTessNormal</function>.
