NAME
       gluTessEndPolygon - delimit a polygon description

C SPECIFICATION
       void gluTessEndPolygon( GLUtesselator* tess )

PARAMETERS
       tess  Specifies the tessellation object (created with gluNewTess).

DESCRIPTION
       gluTessBeginPolygon  and  gluTessEndPolygon  delimit  the  definition  of  a  convex,  concave  or  self-intersecting  polygon. Within each
       gluTessBeginPolygon/gluTessEndPolygon pair, there must be one or more calls to gluTessBeginContour/gluTessEndContour.  Within each contour,
       there  are  zero  or  more  calls to gluTessVertex. The vertices specify a closed contour (the last vertex of each contour is automatically
       linked to the first). See the gluTessVertex, gluTessBeginContour and gluTessEndContour reference pages for more details.

       Once gluTessEndPolygon is called, the  polygon  is  tessellated,  and  the  resulting  triangles  are  described  through  callbacks.   See
       gluTessCallback for descriptions of the callback functions.

EXAMPLE
       A quadrilateral with a triangular hole in it can be described like this:

       gluTessBeginPolygon(tobj, NULL);
	gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v1, v1);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v2, v2);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v3, v3);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v4, v4);
	gluTessEndContour(tobj);
	gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v5, v5);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v6, v6);
	  gluTessVertex(tobj, v7, v7);
	gluTessEndContour(tobj); gluTessEndPolygon(tobj);
       In  the above example the pointers, v1 through v7, should point to different addresses, since the values stored at these addresses will not
       be read by the tesselator until gluTessEndPolygon is called.
