gluQuadricNormals

specify what kind of normals are desired for quadrics

Signature

gluQuadricNormals( GLUquadric* ( quad ) , GLenum ( normal ) )-> void
gluQuadricNormals( quad , normal ) 
gluQuadricNormals( POINTER(GLUquadric)(quad), GLenum(normal) ) -> None

Parameters

VariablesDescription
quad
Specifies the quadrics object (created with gluNewQuadric ).
normal
Specifies the desired type of normals. Valid values are GLU_NONE , GLU_FLAT , and GLU_SMOOTH .

Description

gluQuadricNormals specifies what kind of normals are desired for quadrics rendered with quad . The legal values are as follows:
GLU_NONE
No normals are generated.
GLU_FLAT
One normal is generated for every facet of a quadric.
GLU_SMOOTH
One normal is generated for every vertex of a quadric. This is the initial value.
