GLenum which
_GLUfuncptr CallBackFunc
Parameters

which
Specifies the callback being defined.
Valid values are GLU_NURBS_BEGIN, GLU_NURBS_VERTEX, GLU_NURBS_NORMAL, GLU_NURBS_COLOR, GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD, GLU_NURBS_END, GLU_NURBS_BEGIN_DATA, GLU_NURBS_VERTEX_DATA, GLU_NURBS_NORMAL_DATA, GLU_NURBS_COLOR_DATA, GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD_DATA, GLU_NURBS_END_DATA, and GLU_NURBS_ERROR.
CallBackFunc
Specifies the function that the callback calls.
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 is set to be GLU_NURBS_TESSELLATOR) to return back the OpenGL
polygon primitives resulting 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 gluNurbsCallbackData.
The error callback function is effective no matter which value that
GLU_NURBS_MODE is set to.
All other callback functions are effective only when GLU_NURBS_MODE
is set to GLU_NURBS_TESSELLATOR.
The legal callbacks are as follows:
GLU_NURBS_BEGIN
The begin callback indicates the start of a primitive. The function
takes a single argument of type GLenum, which can be one of
GLU_LINES, GLU_LINE_STRIP, GLU_TRIANGLE_FAN, GLU_TRIANGLE_STRIP, GLU_TRIANGLES, or GLU_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
The same as the GLU_NURBS_BEGIN 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 gluNurbsCallbackData. The
default callback function is NULL. The function prototype for this
callback function looks like:
void beginData(GLenum type, void *userData);
GLU_NURBS_VERTEX
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
This is the same as the GLU_NURBS_VERTEX 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
gluNurbsCallbackData. The default callback function is NULL. The
function prototype for this callback function looks like:
void vertexData( GLfloat *vertex, void *userData );
GLU_NURBS_NORMAL
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 (GLU_MAP1_NORMAL).
In the case of a NURBS surface, if a normal map (GLU_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 GLU_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_NURBS_NORMAL_DATA
The same as the GLU_NURBS_NORMAL 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 gluNurbsCallbackData. The default callback function is NULL. The function prototype for this callback function looks like:
void normalData( GLfloat *normal, void *userData );
GLU_NURBS_COLOR
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
(GLU_MAP1_COLOR_4 or GLU_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
The same as the GLU_NURBS_COLOR 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 gluNurbsCallbackData. 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
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
(GLU_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_1,
GLU_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_2,
GLU_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_3,
GLU_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_4,
GLU_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_1,
GLU_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_2,
GLU_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_3,
GLU_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_4).
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
This is the same as the GLU_NURBS_TEXTURE_COORD 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 gluNurbsCallbackData. The default callback function is NULL. The function prototype for this callback function looks like:
void texCoordData( GLfloat *texCoord, void *userData );
GLU_NURBS_END
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_NURBS_END_DATA
This is the same as the GLU_NURBS_END 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 gluNurbsCallbackData. The default callback function is NULL. The function prototype for this callback function looks like:
void endData( void *userData );
GLU_NURBS_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.
Notes
gluNurbsCallback is available only if the GLU version is 1.2 or greater.
GLU version 1.2 supports only the GLU_ERROR parameter for
which. The GLU_ERROR value is deprecated in GLU version 1.3 in
favor of GLU_NURBS_ERROR. All other accepted values for CallBackFunc
are available only if the GLU version is 1.3 or greater.
