			Each vertex of a polygon, separate triangle, or separate quadrilateral specified between a <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glBegin</tt></a>/<a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glEnd</tt></a> pair is marked as the start of
			either a boundary or nonboundary edge. If the current edge flag is true when the vertex is specified, the vertex is
			marked as the start of a boundary edge. Otherwise, the vertex is marked as the start of a nonboundary edge.
			<tt>glEdgeFlag</tt> sets the edge flag bit to <tt>GL_TRUE</tt> if <i><tt>flag</tt></i>
			is <tt>GL_TRUE</tt>, and to <tt>GL_FALSE</tt> otherwise.
		</p><p>
			The vertices of connected triangles and connected quadrilaterals are always marked as boundary, regardless of the value
			of the edge flag.
		</p><p>
			Boundary and nonboundary edge flags on vertices are significant only if <tt>GL_POLYGON_MODE</tt> is set to
			<tt>GL_POINT</tt> or <tt>GL_LINE</tt>. See <a href="glPolygonMode.3G.xml"><tt>glPolygonMode</tt></a>.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glEdgeFlag.3G-notes"/><h2>Notes</h2><p>
			The current edge flag can be updated at any time. In particular, <tt>glEdgeFlag</tt> can be called between
			a call to <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glBegin</tt></a> and the corresponding call to <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glEnd</tt></a>.
