<para>
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessBeginPolygon</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <function>gluTessEndPolygon</function> delimit the
definition of a convex, concave, or self-intersecting polygon. Within
each <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessBeginPolygon</refentrytitle></citerefentry>/<function>gluTessEndPolygon</function> pair, there must be
one or more calls to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessBeginContour</refentrytitle></citerefentry>/<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessEndContour</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
Within each contour, there are zero or more calls to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessVertex</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
The vertices specify a closed contour (the last vertex of each contour
is automatically linked to the first). See the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessVertex</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessBeginContour</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessEndContour</refentrytitle></citerefentry> reference pages for
more details.
</para>
<para>
Once <function>gluTessEndPolygon</function> is called, the polygon is tessellated, and the
resulting triangles are described through callbacks.
See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluTessCallback</refentrytitle></citerefentry> for descriptions of the callback functions.
</para>

<refsect1 id="example"><title>Example</title>
<para>
A quadrilateral with a triangular hole in it can be described like this:
<programlisting>
gluTessBeginPolygon(tobj, NULL);
gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v1, v1);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v2, v2);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v3, v3);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v4, v4);
gluTessEndContour(tobj);
gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v5, v5);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v6, v6);
gluTessVertex(tobj, v7, v7);
gluTessEndContour(tobj);
gluTessEndPolygon(tobj);
</programlisting>
In the above example the pointers,
<inlineequation><mml:math><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">v1</mml:mi></mml:math></inlineequation>
through
<inlineequation><mml:math><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">v7</mml:mi></mml:math></inlineequation>,
should point to different
addresses,
since the values stored at these addresses will not be read by
the tesselator until <function>gluTessEndPolygon</function> is called.
