NAME
     gluTessBeginPolygon - delimit a polygon description

C SPECIFICATION
     void gluTessBeginPolygon( GLUtesselator* tess,
			       GLvoid* data )

     delim $$

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

     data  Specifies a pointer to user polygon data.

DESCRIPTION
     gluTessBeginPolygon  and gluTessEndPolygon delimit the definition of a con-
     vex, concave or self-intersecting polygon.  Within  each  gluTessBeginPoly-
     gon/gluTessEndPolygon  pair,  there must be one or more calls to gluTessBe-
     ginContour/gluTessEndContour.  Within each contour, there are zero or  more
     calls  to	gluTessVertex.	The  vertices specify a closed contour (the last
     vertex of each contour is automatically  linked  to  the  first).	See  the
     gluTessVertex,  gluTessBeginContour,  and gluTessEndContour reference pages
     for more details.

     data is a pointer to a user-defined  data	structure.  If	the  appropriate
     callback(s)  are  specified (see gluTessCallback), then this pointer is re-
     turned to the callback function(s). Thus, it is a convenient way  to  store
     per-polygon information.

     Once  gluTessEndPolygon  is called, the polygon is tessellated, and the re-
     sulting triangles are described through callbacks.  See gluTessCallback for
     descriptions of the callback functions.

EXAMPLE
     A quadrilateral with a triangular hole in it can be described as follows:

     gluTessBeginPolygon(tobj, NULL);
      gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v1, v1);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v2, v2);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v3, v3);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v4, v4);
      gluTessEndContour(tobj);
      gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v5, v5);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v6, v6);
	gluTessVertex(tobj, v7, v7);
      gluTessEndContour(tobj); gluTessEndPolygon(tobj);
