GLCULLFACE(3G)							   OpenGL Manual						    GLCULLFACE(3G)

NAME

       glCullFace - specify whether front- or back-facing facets can be culled

C SPECIFICATION

       void glCullFace(GLenum mode);

PARAMETERS

       mode
	   Specifies whether front- or back-facing facets are candidates for culling. Symbolic constants GL_FRONT, GL_BACK, and GL_FRONT_AND_BACK
	   are accepted. The initial value is GL_BACK.

DESCRIPTION

       glCullFace specifies whether front- or back-facing facets are culled (as specified by mode) when facet culling is enabled. Facet culling is
       initially disabled. To enable and disable facet culling, call the glEnable() and glDisable() commands with the argument GL_CULL_FACE.
       Facets include triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and rectangles.

       glFrontFace() specifies which of the clockwise and counterclockwise facets are front-facing and back-facing. See glFrontFace().

NOTES

       If mode is GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, no facets are drawn, but other primitives such as points and lines are drawn.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

ASSOCIATED GETS

       glIsEnabled() with argument GL_CULL_FACE

       glGet() with argument GL_CULL_FACE_MODE
