DESCRIPTION
gluNurbsCallback is used to define a callback to be used by
a NURBS object. If the specified callback is already
defined, then it is replaced. If CallBackFunc is NULL, then
this callback will not get invoked and the related data, if
any, will be lost.
Except the error callback, these callbacks are used by NURBS
tessellator (when GLU_NURBS_MODE_EXT is set to be
GLU_NURBS_TESSELLATOR_EXT) to return back the openGL polygon
primitives resulted from the tessellation. Note that there
are two versions of each callback: one with a user data
pointer and one without. If both versions for a particular
callback are specified then the callback with the user data
pointer will be used. Note that "userData" is a copy of the
pointer that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT.
The error callback function is effective no matter which
value that GLU_NURBS_MODE_EXT is set to. All other callback
functions are effective only when GLU_NURBS_MODE_EXT is set
to GLU_NURBS_TESSELLATOR_EXT.
The legal callbacks are as follows:
GLU_NURBS_BEGIN_EXT
The begin callback indicates the start of a
primitive. The function takes a single argument of
type GLenum which can be one of GL_LINES,
GL_LINE_STRIPS, GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,
GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, GL_TRIANGLES, or GL_QUAD_STRIP.
The default begin callback function is NULL. The
function prototype for this callback looks like:
void begin ( GLenum type );
GLU_NURBS_BEGIN_DATA_EXT
The same as the GLU_NURBS_BEGIN_EXT callback
except that it takes an additional pointer
argument. This pointer is a copy of the pointer
that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT. The default callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void beginData (GLenum type, void *userData);
GLU_NURBS_VERTEX_EXT
The vertex callback indicates a vertex of the
primitive. The coordinates of the vertex are
stored in the parameter "vertex". All the
generated vertices have dimension 3, that is,
homogeneous coordinates have been transformed into
affine coordinates. The default vertex callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void vertex ( GLfloat *vertex );
GLU_NURBS_VERTEX_DATA_EXT
The same as the GLU_NURBS_VERTEX_EXT callback
except that it takes an additional pointer
argument. This pointer is a copy of the pointer
that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT. The default callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void vertexData ( GLfloat *vertex, void *userData
);
GLU_NORMAL_EXT
The normal callback is invoked as the vertex
normal is generated. The components of the normal
are stored in the parameter "normal". In the case
of a NURBS curve, the callback function is
effective only when the user provides a normal map
(GL_MAP1_NORMAL). In the case of a NURBS surface,
if a normal map (GL_MAP2_NORMAL) is provided, then
the generated normal is computed from the normal
map. If a normal map is not provided then a
surface normal is computed in a manner similar to
that described for evaluators when GL_AUTO_NORMAL
is enabled. The default normal callback function
is NULL. The function prototype for this callback
function looks like:
void normal ( GLfloat *normal );
GLU_NORMAL_DATA_EXT
The same as the GLU_NURBS_NORMAL_EXT callback
except that it takes an additional pointer
argument. This pointer is a copy of the pointer
that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT. The default callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void normalData ( GLfloat *normal, void *userData
);
GLU_NURBS_COLOR_EXT
The color callback is invoked as the color of a
vertex is generated. The components of the color
are stored in the parameter "color". This
callback is effective only when the user provides
a color map (GL_MAP1_COLOR_4 or GL_MAP2_COLOR_4).
"color" contains four components: R,G,B,A. The
default color callback function is NULL. The
prototype for this callback function looks like:
void color ( GLfloat *color );
GLU_NURBS_COLOR_DATA_EXT
The same as the GLU_NURBS_COLOR_EXT callback
except that it takes an additional pointer
argument. This pointer is a copy of the pointer
that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT. The default callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void colorData ( GLfloat *color, void *userData );
GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD_EXT
The texture callback is invoked as the texture
coordinates of a vertex are generated. These
coordinates are stored in the parameter
"texCoord". The number of texture coordinates can
be 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on which type of
texture map is specified (GL_MAP*_TEXTURE_COORD_1,
GL_MAP*_TEXTURE_COORD_2, GL_MAP*_TEXTURE_COORD_3,
GL_MAP*_TEXTURE_COORD_4 where * can be either 1 or
2). If no texture map is specified, this callback
function will not be called. The default texture
callback function is NULL. The function prototype
for this callback function looks like:
void texCoord ( GLfloat *texCoord );
GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD_DATA_EXT
The same as the GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD_EXT
callback except that it takes an additional
pointer argument. This pointer is a copy of the
pointer that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT. The default callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void texCoordData (GLfloat *texCoord, void
*userData);
GLU_END_EXT
The end callback is invoked at the end of a
primitive. The default end callback function is
NULL. The function prototype for this callback
function looks like:
void end ( void );
GLU_END_DATA_EXT
The same as the GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD_EXT
callback except that it takes an additional
pointer argument. This pointer is a copy of the
pointer that was specified at the last call to
gluNurbsCallbackDataEXT. The default callback
function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void endData ( void *userData );
GLU_ERROR The error function is called when an error is
encountered. Its single argument is of type
GLenum, and it indicates the specific error that
occurred. There are 37 errors unique to NURBS
named GLU_NURBS_ERROR1 through GLU_NURBS_ERROR37.
Character strings describing these errors can be
retrieved with gluErrorString.
