PARAMETERS

target

Specifies the kind of values that are generated by the evaluator. Symbolic constants GL_MAP2_VERTEX_3, GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4, GL_MAP2_INDEX, GL_MAP2_COLOR_4, GL_MAP2_NORMAL, GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_1, GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_2, GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_3, and GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_4 are accepted.

u1, u2

Specify a linear mapping of $u$, as presented to glEvalCoord2, to $u hat$, one of the two variables that are evaluated by the equations specified by this command. Initially, u1 is 0 and u2 is 1.

ustride

Specifies the number of floats or doubles between the beginning of control point $R sub ij$ and the beginning of control point $R sub { (i+1) j }$, where $i$ and $j$ are the $u$ and $v$ control point indices, respectively. This allows control points to be embedded in arbitrary data structures. The only constraint is that the values for a particular control point must occupy contiguous memory locations. The initial value of ustride is 0.

uorder

Specifies the dimension of the control point array in the $u$ axis. Must be positive. The initial value is 1.

v1, v2

Specify a linear mapping of $v$, as presented to glEvalCoord2, to $v hat$, one of the two variables that are evaluated by the equations specified by this command. Initially, v1 is 0 and v2 is 1.

vstride

Specifies the number of floats or doubles between the beginning of control point $R sub ij$ and the beginning of control point $R sub { i (j+1) }$, where $i$ and $j$ are the $u$ and $v$ control point indices, respectively. This allows control points to be embedded in arbitrary data structures. The only constraint is that the values for a particular control point must occupy contiguous memory locations. The initial value of vstride is 0.

vorder

Specifies the dimension of the control point array in the $v$ axis. Must be positive. The initial value is 1.

points

Specifies a pointer to the array of control points.

DESCRIPTION

where $R sub ij$ is a control point, $B sub i sup n ( u hat )$ is the $i$th Bernstein polynomial of degree
$n$ (uorder = $n ~+~ 1$)

and $B sub j sup m ( v hat )$ is the $j$th Bernstein polynomial of degree $m$ (vorder = $m ~+~ 1$)

Recall that

glMap2 is used to define the basis and to specify what kind of values are produced. Once defined, a map can be enabled and disabled by calling glEnable and glDisable with the map name, one of the nine predefined values for target, described below. When glEvalCoord2 presents values $u$ and $v$, the bivariate Bernstein polynomials are evaluated using $u hat$ and $v hat$, where

target is a symbolic constant that indicates what kind of control points are provided in points, and what output is generated when the map is evaluated. It can assume one of nine predefined values:

GL_MAP2_VERTEX_3

Each control point is three floating-point values representing $x$, $y$, and $z$. Internal glVertex3 commands are generated when the map is evaluated.

GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4

Each control point is four floating-point values representing $x$, $y$, $z$, and $w$. Internal glVertex4 commands are generated when the map is evaluated.

GL_MAP2_INDEX

Each control point is a single floating-point value representing a color index. Internal glIndex commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current index is not updated with the value of these glIndex commands.

GL_MAP2_COLOR_4

Each control point is four floating-point values representing red, green, blue, and alpha. Internal glColor4 commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current color is not updated with the value of these glColor4 commands.

GL_MAP2_NORMAL

Each control point is three floating-point values representing the $x$, $y$, and $z$ components of a normal vector. Internal glNormal commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current normal is not updated with the value of these glNormal commands.

GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_1

Each control point is a single floating-point value representing the $s$ texture coordinate. Internal
glTexCoord1 commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current texture coordinates are not updated with the value of these glTexCoord commands.

GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_2

Each control point is two floating-point values representing the $s$ and $t$ texture coordinates. Internal
glTexCoord2 commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current texture coordinates are not updated with the value of these glTexCoord commands.

GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_3

Each control point is three floating-point values representing the $s$, $t$, and $r$ texture coordinates. Internal glTexCoord3 commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current texture coordinates are not updated with the value of these glTexCoord commands.

GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_4

Each control point is four floating-point values representing the $s$, $t$, $r$, and $q$ texture coordinates. Internal
glTexCoord4 commands are generated when the map is evaluated but the current texture coordinates are not updated with the value of these glTexCoord commands. ustride, uorder, vstride, vorder, and points define the array addressing for accessing the control points. points is the location of the first control point, which occupies one, two, three, or four contiguous memory locations, depending on which map is being defined. There are $ "uorder" ~times~ "vorder" $ control points in the array. ustride specifies how many float or double locations are skipped to advance the internal memory pointer from control point $R sub {i j} $ to control point $R sub {(i+1) j} $. vstride specifies how many float or double locations are skipped to advance the internal memory pointer from control point $R sub {i j} $ to control point $R sub {i (j+1) } $.
