<para>
|

|
|
In a scene composed entirely of opaque closed surfaces,
|
||
|
|
back-facing polygons are never visible.
|
||
|
|
Eliminating these invisible polygons has the obvious benefit
|
||
|
|
of speeding up the rendering of the image.
|
||
|
|
To enable and disable elimination of back-facing polygons, call <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnable</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
|
||
|
|
and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisable</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with argument <constant>GL_CULL_FACE</constant>.

<para>

The projection of a polygon to window coordinates is said to have
|
||
|
|
clockwise winding if an imaginary object following the path
|
||
|
|
from its first vertex,
|
||
|
|
its second vertex,
|
||
|
|
and so on,
|
||
|
|
to its last vertex,
|
||
|
|
and finally back to its first vertex,
|
||
|
|
moves in a clockwise direction about the interior of the polygon.
|
||
|
|
The polygon's winding is said to be counterclockwise if the imaginary
|
||
|
|
object following the same path moves in a counterclockwise direction
|
||
|
|
about the interior of the polygon.
|
||
|
|
<function>glFrontFace</function> specifies whether polygons with clockwise winding in window coordinates,
|
||
|
|
or counterclockwise winding in window coordinates,
|
||
|
|
are taken to be front-facing.
|
||
|
|
Passing <constant>GL_CCW</constant> to <parameter>mode</parameter> selects counterclockwise polygons as
|
||
|
|
front-facing;
|
||
|
|
<constant>GL_CW</constant> selects clockwise polygons as front-facing.
|
||
|
|
By default, counterclockwise polygons are taken to be front-facing.
