GLCOLORMATERIAL()					     GLCOLORMATERIAL()

NAME
       glColorMaterial - cause a material color	to track the current color

C SPECIFICATION
       void glColorMaterial( GLenum face,
			     GLenum mode )

PARAMETERS
       face  Specifies	whether	 front,	 back, or both front and back material
	     parameters	should track the current color.	 Accepted  values  are
	     GL_FRONT,	GL_BACK,  and GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.  The initial value is
	     GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.

       mode  Specifies which of	several	material parameters track the  current
	     color.   Accepted values are GL_EMISSION, GL_AMBIENT, GL_DIFFUSE,
	     GL_SPECULAR, and GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE.  The  initial  value  is
	     GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE.

DESCRIPTION
       glColorMaterial	specifies  which material parameters track the current
       color.  When GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is enabled, the  material	 parameter  or
       parameters specified by mode, of	the material or	materials specified by
       face, track the current color at	all times.

       To  enable  and	disable	GL_COLOR_MATERIAL, call	glEnable and glDisable
       with argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL.	 GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is  initially  dis-
       abled.

NOTES
       glColorMaterial	makes it possible to change a subset of	material para-
       meters for each vertex using only the glColor command, without  calling
       glMaterial.  If only such a subset of parameters	is to be specified for
       each  vertex, calling glColorMaterial is	preferable to calling glMater-
       ial.

       Call glColorMaterial before enabling GL_COLOR_MATERIAL.

       Calling glDrawElements may leave	the current color  indeterminate.   If
       glColorMaterial	is  enabled  while the current color is	indeterminate,
       the lighting material state specified by	face and mode is also indeter-
       minate.

       If the GL version is 1.1	or greater, and	GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is  enabled,
       evaluated  color	 values	affect the results of the lighting equation as
       if the current color were being modified, but no	change is made to  the
       tracking	lighting parameter of the current color.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if face or mode is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION  is	 generated  if glColorMaterial is executed be-
       tween the execution of  glBegin	and  the  corresponding	 execution  of
       glEnd.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glIsEnabled with	argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL
       glGet with argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL_PARAMETER
       glGet with argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL_FACE
