Specifies the NURBS object (created with \%\f3gluNewNurbsRenderer\fP).
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Use \%\f3gluBeginTrim\fP to mark the beginning of a
|
|
trimming loop, and \%\f3gluEndTrim\fP to mark the end
|
|
of a trimming loop. A trimming loop is
|
|
a set of oriented curve segments (forming a closed curve) that
|
|
define boundaries of a NURBS surface. You include these
|
|
trimming loops in the definition of a NURBS
|
|
surface, between calls to \%\f3gluBeginSurface\fP and \%\f3gluEndSurface\fP.
|
|
.P
|
|
The definition for a NURBS surface can contain many
|
|
trimming loops. For example, if you wrote a definition
|
|
for a NURBS surface that resembled a rectangle with
|
|
a hole punched out, the definition would contain two
|
|
trimming loops. One loop would define the outer edge
|
|
of the rectangle; the other would define
|
|
the hole punched out of the rectangle. The definitions
|
|
of each of these trimming loops would be bracketed by a
|
|
\%\f3gluBeginTrim\fP/\%\f3gluEndTrim\fP pair.
|
|
.P
|
|
The definition of a single closed trimming loop can consist
|
|
of multiple curve segments, each described as a piecewise
|
|
linear curve (see \%\f3gluPwlCurve\fP) or as a single NURBS
|
|
curve (see \%\f3gluNurbsCurve\fP), or as a combination of
|
|
both in any order. The only library calls that can
|
|
appear in a trimming loop definition (between the calls
|
|
to \%\f3gluBeginTrim\fP and \%\f3gluEndTrim\fP) are
|
|
\%\f3gluPwlCurve\fP and \%\f3gluNurbsCurve\fP.
|
|
.P
|
|
The area of the NURBS surface that is displayed is the
|
|
region in the domain to the left of the trimming curve
|
|
as the curve parameter increases. Thus, the retained
|
|
region of the NURBS surface is inside a
|
|
counterclockwise trimming loop and outside a clockwise
|
|
trimming loop. For the rectangle mentioned earlier,
|
|
the trimming loop for the outer edge of the rectangle runs
|
|
counterclockwise, while the trimming loop for the punched-out hole
|
|
runs clockwise.
|
|
.P
|
|
If you use more than one curve to define a single trimming
|
|
loop, the curve segments must form a closed loop (that is,
|
|
the endpoint of each curve must be the starting point of the
|
|
next curve, and the endpoint of the final curve must
|
|
be the starting point of the first curve). If the
|
|
endpoints of the curve are sufficiently close together
|
|
but not exactly coincident, they will be coerced to match.
|
|
If the endpoints are not sufficiently close, an error results
|
|
(see \%\f3gluNurbsCallback\fP).
|
|
.P
|
|
If a trimming loop definition contains multiple curves,
|
|
the direction of the curves must be consistent (that is, the
|
|
inside must be to the left of all of the curves). Nested
|
|
trimming loops are legal as long as the curve orientations
|
|
alternate correctly.
|
|
If trimming curves are self-intersecting,
|
|
or intersect one another, an error results.
|
|
.P
|
|
If no trimming information is given
|
|
for a NURBS surface, the entire surface is drawn.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
This code fragment defines a trimming loop that consists of one
|
|
piecewise linear curve, and two NURBS curves:
