NAME
       gluBeginSurface - delimit a NURBS surface definition

C SPECIFICATION
       void gluBeginSurface(GLUnurbs* nurb);

C SPECIFICATION
       void gluEndSurface(GLUnurbs* nurb);

PARAMETERS
       nurb
	   Specifies the NURBS object (created with gluNewNurbsRenderer()).

DESCRIPTION
       Use gluBeginSurface to mark the beginning of a NURBS surface definition. After calling gluBeginSurface, make one or more calls to
       gluNurbsSurface() to define the attributes of the surface. Exactly one of these calls to gluNurbsSurface() must have a surface type of
       GLU_MAP2_VERTEX_3 or GLU_MAP2_VERTEX_4. To mark the end of the NURBS surface definition, call gluEndSurface().

       Trimming of NURBS surfaces is supported with gluBeginTrim(), gluPwlCurve(), gluNurbsCurve(), and gluEndTrim(). See the gluBeginTrim()
       reference page for details.

       GL evaluators are used to render the NURBS surface as a set of polygons. Evaluator state is preserved during rendering with
       glPushAttrib()(GLU_EVAL_BIT) and glPopAttrib(). See the glPushAttrib() reference page for details on exactly what state these calls
       preserve.

EXAMPLE
       The following commands render a textured NURBS surface with normals; the texture coordinates and normals are also described as NURBS
       surfaces:

	   gluBeginSurface(nobj);
	      gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_2);
	      gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_NORMAL);
	      gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4);
	   gluEndSurface(nobj);
