NAME
       gluBeginPolygon - delimit a polygon description

C SPECIFICATION
       void gluBeginPolygon(GLUtesselator* tess);

C SPECIFICATION
       void gluEndPolygon(GLUtesselator* tess);

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

DESCRIPTION
       gluBeginPolygon and gluEndPolygon() delimit the definition of a
       nonconvex polygon. To define such a polygon, first call
       gluBeginPolygon. Then define the contours of the polygon by calling
       gluTessVertex() for each vertex and gluNextContour() to start each new
       contour. Finally, call gluEndPolygon() to signal the end of the
       definition. See the gluTessVertex() and gluNextContour() reference
       pages for more details.

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

NOTES
       This command is obsolete and is provided for backward compatibility
       only. Calls to gluBeginPolygon are mapped to gluTessBeginPolygon()
       followed by gluTessBeginContour(). Calls to gluEndPolygon() are mapped
       to gluTessEndContour() followed by gluTessEndPolygon().

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

	   gluBeginPolygon(tobj);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v1, v1);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v2, v2);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v3, v3);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v4, v4);
	   gluNextContour(tobj, GLU_INTERIOR);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v5, v5);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v6, v6);
	      gluTessVertex(tobj, v7, v7);
	   gluEndPolygon(tobj);
