\f2nurb\fP
Specifies the NURBS object (created with \%\f3gluNewNurbsRenderer\fP).
.SH DESCRIPTION
Use \%\f3gluBeginCurve\fP to mark the beginning of a NURBS
curve definition.
After
calling \%\f3gluBeginCurve\fP, make one or more calls to
\%\f3gluNurbsCurve\fP to define the attributes of the curve.
Exactly one of the calls to \%\f3gluNurbsCurve\fP must have
a curve type of \%\f3GL_MAP1_VERTEX_3\fP or \%\f3GL_MAP1_VERTEX_4\fP.
To mark the end of the NURBS curve definition, call \%\f3gluEndCurve\fP.
.P
GL evaluators are used to render the NURBS curve as a series of line
segments.
Evaluator state is preserved during rendering
with \f3glPushAttrib\fP(\%\f3GL_EVAL_BIT\fP) and
\f3glPopAttrib\fP().
See the \f3glPushAttrib\fP reference page for details on exactly what state
these calls preserve.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following commands render a textured NURBS curve with normals;
texture coordinates and normals are also specified as NURBS curves:
.sp
.Ex
gluBeginCurve(nobj);
gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_2);
gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_NORMAL);
gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_VERTEX_4);
gluEndCurve(nobj);
