πŸ’– GLUNEWTESS πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the gluNewTess page of the GLU manual (that's the 3G section, iykyk) β€” it's short, it's sweet, it's giving main character energy, and it's literally just about making one (1) little object. let's go πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

gluNewTess β€” create a tessellation object πŸ¦‹


🌸 C SPECIFICATION 🌸

GLUtesselator* gluNewTess( void )

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so like. gluNewTess creates a new tessellation object and hands you back a pointer to it. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘

whenever you're gonna call tessellation functions, you gotta refer to this object β€” it's the little handle that keeps everything together, your emotional support tessellator fr fr 🫢

⚠️ heads up: if the return value is 0, that means there was not enough memory to allocate the object. so if you get a 0 back, that's not a vibe β€” check your memory situation before you do literally anything else 😭
