NAME
     gluPwlCurve - describe a piecewise linear NURBS trimming curve

C SPECIFICATION
     void gluPwlCurve( GLUnurbs* nurb,
		       GLint count,
		       GLfloat* data,
		       GLint stride,
		       GLenum type )

     delim $$

PARAMETERS
     nurb    Specifies the NURBS object (created with gluNewNurbsRenderer).

     count   Specifies the number of points on the curve.

     data    Specifies an array containing the curve points.

     stride  Specifies	the  offset (a number of single-precision floating-point
	     values) between points on the curve.

     type    Specifies the type of curve.  Must  be  either  GLU_MAP1_TRIM_2  or
	     GLU_MAP1_TRIM_3.

DESCRIPTION
     gluPwlCurve  describes  a	piecewise linear trimming curve for a NURBS sur-
     face.  A piecewise linear curve consists of a list of coordinates of points
     in the parameter space for the NURBS surface to be  trimmed.  These  points
     are  connected  with  line segments to form a curve. If the curve is an ap-
     proximation to a curve that is not piecewise linear, the points  should  be
     close  enough  in parameter space that the resulting path appears curved at
     the resolution used in the application.

     If type is GLU_MAP1_TRIM_2, then it describes a curve in two-dimensional (u
     and v) parameter space. If it is GLU_MAP1_TRIM_3, then it describes a curve
     in two-dimensional homogeneous (u, v, and	w)  parameter  space.	See  the
     gluBeginTrim reference page for more information about trimming curves.

NOTES
     To  describe a trim curve that closely follows the contours of a NURBS sur-
     face, call gluNurbsCurve.
