NAME setnurbsproperty - sets a property for the display of trimmed NURBS surfaces C SPECIFICATION void setnurbsproperty(long property, float value) PARAMETERS property expects the name of the property to be set. value expects the value to which the named property will be set. DESCRIPTION The display of NURBS surfaces can be controlled in different ways. The following is a list of the display properties that can be affected. N_ERRORCHECKING: If value is 1.0, some error checking is enabled. If error checking is disabled, the system runs slightly faster. The default value is 0.0. N_PIXEL_TOLERANCE: The value is the maximum length, in pixels, of edges of polygons on the screen used to render trimmed NURBS surfaces. The default value is 50.0 pixels. N_DISPLAY: An enumeration that dictates the surface rendering format; it affects surfaces only. Possible values are N_FILL, N_OUTLINE_POLY, and N_OUTLINE_PATCH. N_FILL instructs the GL to fill all polygons generated in the tessellation of the surface. N_OUTLINE_POLY instructs the GL to outline all polygons generated. N_OUTLINE_PATCH instructs the GL to outline the boundary of all surface patches and trim curves. N_CULLING: A Boolean value that, when TRUE, instructs the GL to discard before tessellation, all patches that are outside the current viewport.
