.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the NURBS object (created with _cmnd(NewNurbsRenderer)).
_phead(_param2)
Specifies the number of knots in the parametric \f2u\fP direction.
_phead(_param3)
Specifies an array of _param2 nondecreasing knot values in the parametric
\f2u\fP direction.
_phead(_param4)
Specifies the number of knots in the parametric \f2v\fP direction.
_phead(_param5)
Specifies an array of _param4 nondecreasing knot values in the parametric
\f2v\fP direction.
_phead(_param6)
Specifies the offset (as a number of single-precision floating point values)
between successive control points in the parametric \f2u\fP direction
in _param8.
_phead(_param7)
Specifies the offset (in single-precision floating-point values)
between successive control points in the parametric \f2v\fP direction
in _param8.
_phead(_param8)
Specifies an array containing control points for the NURBS surface.
The offsets between successive control points in the parametric \f2u\fP
and \f2v\fP directions are given by _param6 and _param7.
_phead(_param9)
Specifies the order of the NURBS surface in the parametric \f2u\fP 
direction. The order is one more than the degree, hence
a surface that is cubic in \f2u\fP has a \f2u\fP order of 4.
_phead(_param10)
Specifies the order of the NURBS surface in the parametric \f2v\fP 
direction. The order is one more than the degree, hence
a surface that is cubic in \f2v\fP has a \f2v\fP order of 4.
_phead(_param11)
Specifies type of the surface. _param11 can be any of the valid
two-dimensional evaluator types (such as _const(MAP2_VERTEX_3) or 
_const(MAP2_COLOR_4)).
.SH DESCRIPTION
Use _cmnd within a NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface
definition to describe the shape of a NURBS surface (before
any trimming). To mark the beginning of 
a NURBS surface definition, use the _cmnd(BeginSurface) command.
To mark the end of a NURBS surface definition, use the 
_cmnd(EndSurface) command. Call _cmnd within a NURBS
surface definition only.
.P
Positional, texture, and color coordinates are associated
with a surface by presenting each as a separate _cmnd between a 
_cmnd(BeginSurface)/_cmnd(EndSurface) pair. No more than
one call to _cmnd for each of color, position, and texture
data can be made within a single _cmnd(BeginSurface)/_cmnd(EndSurface)
pair. Exactly one call must be made to describe the position of the 
surface (a _param11 of _const(MAP2_VERTEX_3) or _const(MAP2_VERTEX_4)).
.P
A NURBS surface can be trimmed by using the commands 
_cmnd(NurbsCurve) and _cmnd(PwlCurve) between calls to
_cmnd(BeginTrim) and _cmnd(EndTrim).
.P
Note that a _cmnd with _param2 knots in the \f2u\fP direction
and _param4 knots in the \f2v\fP direction with orders 
_param9 and _param10 must have 
(_param2 - _param9) $times$ (_param4 - _param10) control points.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following commands render a textured NURBS surface with normals;
the texture coordinates and normals are also NURBS surfaces:
.sp
.Ex
gluBeginSurface(nobj);
   gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_TEXTURE_COORD_2);
   gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_NORMAL);
   gluNurbsSurface(nobj, ..., GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4);
gluEndSurface(nobj);
