Name

  gluLoadSamplingMatrices - load NURBS sampling	and culling matrices

C Specification

  void gluLoadSamplingMatrices(	GLUnurbsObj *nobj,
				const GLfloat modelMatrix[16],
				const GLfloat projMatrix[16],
				const GLint viewport[4]); )

Parameters

  nobj	       Specifies the NURBS object (created with	gluNewNurbsRenderer).

  modelMatrix  Specifies a modelview matrix (as	from a glGetFloatv call).

  projMatrix   Specifies a projection matrix (as from a	glGetFloatv call).

  viewport;    Specifies a viewport (as	from a glGetIntegerv call).

Description

  gluLoadSamplingMatrices uses modelMatrix, projMatrix,	and viewport; to
  recompute the	sampling and culling matrices stored in	nobj.  The sampling
  matrix determines how	finely a NURBS curve or	surface	must be	tessellated
  to satisfy the sampling tolerance (as	determined by the
  GLU_SAMPLING_TOLERANCE property).  The  culling matrix is used in deciding
  if a NURBS curve or surface should be	culled before rendering	(when the
  GLU_CULLING property is turned on).

  gluLoadSamplingMatrices is necessary only if the GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX
  property is turned off (see gluNurbsProperty).  Although it can be
  convenient to	leave the GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX property	turned on, there can
  be a performance penalty for doing so.  (A round trip	to the OpenGL server
  is needed to fetch the current values	of the modelview matrix, projection
  matrix, and viewport.)
