			In addition to the default glTexGen modes that are supplied by OpenGL, the tubing library also contains some of its own
			automatic texture coordinate generation routines. In addition, user-defined texture coord generation routines can be
			supplied. To use texture mapping with the extrusion library, one must remember to "do the obvious":

				</li><li>
					If using the routine below, then disable glTexgGen
				</li></ul></div><p>
			<tt>gleTextureMode</tt> can be used to set the type of automatic texture coordinate generation to be used. The argument should
			be a bitwise-OR of any of the following flags:

						If this bit is set, then texturing is enabled. If this bit is NOT set, then automatic texture coordinate
						generation is disabled.
					</dd></dl></div><p>
			The way in which the automatic texture coordinate generation occurs is determined by one of the following flags. One
			and only one of these should be selected at a time. These tokens are enumerants, not bit-flags.

						These define texture mapping modes that are very similar to those described above, except that the

						the contour, since the coordinates used are those prior to the affine transform.
					</dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="gleTextureMode.3GLE-operation"/><h2>Operation</h2><p>
			To best understand how to use the above functions, it is best to understand how the tubing is actually drawn. Let us
			start by defining some terms. The tubing library "extrudes" a "contour" along a "path".
			The contour is a 2D polyline. The path is a 3D polyline. We use the word "segment" to refer to a
			straight-line segment of the path polyline. We also interchangeably use the word "segment" to stand for the
			section of the extrusion that lies along a path segment.
		</p><p>
			The tubing library draws segments one at a time. It uses <a href="glPushMatrix.3G.xml"><tt>glPushMatrix</tt></a> and
			<a href="glPushMatrix.3G.xml"><tt>glPopMatrix</tt></a> to orient each segment along the negative z-axis. The segment
			starts at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
						<mml:mn>0</mml:mn>
					</mml:mrow>
				</mml:math> and ends at some negative z-value (equal to the length of the segment). The segment is then drawn by
			calling <a href="glVertex.3G.xml"><tt>glVertex3f</tt></a> (and <a href="glNormal.3G.xml"><tt>glNormal3f</tt></a>)
			by drawing the 2D contour at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
						<mml:mn>0</mml:mn>
					</mml:mrow>
				</mml:math> and again at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
						<mml:mo>-len</mml:mo>
					</mml:mrow>
				</mml:math>. (Of course, if the join style is one of the fancy ones, then the end-points are trimmed in a variety
			of ways, and do not land exactly on <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
						<mml:mn>0</mml:mn>
					</mml:mrow>
				</mml:math>, or <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
						<mml:mo>-len</mml:mo>
					</mml:mrow>
				</mml:math>, but they do come close). Note that <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glBegin</tt></a> and <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glEnd</tt></a> are called around each segment. (Note also that additional <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glBegin</tt></a>/<a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glEnd</tt></a>s may be called to draw end-caps
			or filleting triangles for the more complex join styles.)
		</p><p>
			The obvious way to automatically generate textures is to warp the <tt>glVertex</tt> and
			<tt>glNormal</tt> functions, and compute texture coordinates based on the 3-space
			vertex and normal coordinates. This is essentially what the tubing code does, except that it passes some extra
			parameters. The <a href="glBegin.3G.xml"><tt>glBegin</tt></a> calls are wrapped, and the integer segment number and
			the floating-point length of the segment are passed in. By knowing the segment number, and the segment length, the
			texture coordinates can be adjusted. Knowing the length allows the length to be accumulated, so that a texture is
			applied lengthwise along the extrusion. It is this accumulated length that is used in the FLAT and CYL mapping modes.
		</p><p>
			For each vertex, not only are the vertex x,y,z coordinates available, but so is a contour vertex counter indicating
			which contour vertex this corresponds to. There is also a flag indicating whether the vertex corresponds to a front or
			back vertex (i.e. a <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>

					<mml:mrow>
						<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
						<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
						<mml:mo>-len</mml:mo>
					</mml:mrow>
				</mml:math> vertex). Again, this info can be used to avoid confusion when drawing the more complex join styles.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="gleTextureMode.3GLE-hints"/><h2>Hints</h2><p>
			Here are a few hints, tips, and techniques:
		</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li>
					Confused? <span class="bold"><b>Run the demos!</b></span> The best way to understand what all the different
					texture modes are doing is to see them in action.
				</li><li>
					The texture matrix can be used to your advantage! That is, you can use <tt>glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE)</tt> to control how textures are mapped to the surface. In
					particular, you may/will want to use it to to rescale the V coordinate.
				</li><li>
					The origin of the contour will in general change the vertex x's and y's, thus changing the texture coordinates.
				</li><li>
					The contour <i><tt>up</tt></i> vector will NOT influence the texture coordinates.
				</li><li>
					For the FLAT and CYL modes, the accumulated length really is the accumulated length of the segments in modeling
					coordinates. Unless the extrusion is very small, this length will probably be much larger than 1.0, and so the
					resulting texture coordinate will wrap. You will generally want to rescale the "V" coordinate to make
					the texture map fit.
				</li><li>
					If the texture is "swimming" around on the surface in an undesired way, try using the
					"MODEL" version of the texture generation flag.
				</li><li>
					Typically, you will <span class="bold"><b>not</b></span> want to use the "SPH" versions of the
					texture generation engine unless you really, really have an extrusion for which spherical coordinates are
					appropriate. Most uses of extrusions are best handled with the "FLAT" and "CYL" generation
					methods.
				</li><li>
					User-defined texture generation callbacks are not currently implemented, but these should be very, very easy to
					hack in as desired. It should be easy to let your imagination run wild in here. Look at
					<tt>texgen.c</tt> &#8212; what needs to be done should be obvious, I hope. When in doubt,
					experiment.
