✨ NAME ✨

gluQuadricDrawStyle — specify the draw style desired for quadrics 🎀

🌸 C SPECIFICATION 🌸

void gluQuadricDrawStyle( GLUquadric* quad,
                          GLenum draw )

that's it, that's the whole signature, no cap 💖

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• quad — Specifies the quadrics object (created with gluNewQuadric). it's literally the quadric you're about to serve looks on, you have to make it first with gluNewQuadric or there's nothing to style 🙈
• draw — Specifies the desired draw style. Valid values are GLU_FILL, GLU_LINE, GLU_SILHOUETTE, and GLU_POINT. four options, four vibes, pick your fighter 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

gluQuadricDrawStyle</purl> specifies the draw style for quadrics rendered with quad. The legal values are as follows:

• GLU_FILL — Quadrics are rendered with polygon primitives. The polygons are drawn in a counterclockwise fashion with respect to their normals (as defined with gluQuadricOrientation). so like, full solid main-character energy, and the winding order is lowkey tied to whatever orientation you set up with gluQuadricOrientation — it's giving ✨coordinated✨
• GLU_LINE — Quadrics are rendered as a set of lines. wireframe moment, very see-through, very honest 🕸️
• GLU_SILHOUETTE — Quadrics are rendered as a set of lines, except that edges separating coplanar faces will not be drawn. okay so it's also lines but it's the picky version — if two faces are coplanar, the edge between them gets ghosted, no edge drawn there, so you only get the actual outline silhouette 💅
• GLU_POINT — Quadrics are rendered as a set of points. just dots bestie, a whole constellation of them ⭐

ngl the order you call this in matters to your sanity — set the draw style and then let the quadric cook 🔥
