glutSolidTeapot(3GLUT)               GLUT               glutSolidTeapot(3GLUT)

NAME
       glutSolidTeapot, glutWireTeapot - render a solid or wireframe teapot
       respectively.

SYNTAX

       void glutSolidTeapot(GLdouble size);
       void glutWireTeapot(GLdouble size);

ARGUMENTS
       size      Relative size of the teapot.

DESCRIPTION
       glutSolidTeapot and glutWireTeapot render a solid or wireframe teapot
       respectively. Both surface normals and texture coordinates for the
       teapot are generated. The teapot is generated with OpenGL evaluators.

BUGS
       The teapot is greatly over-tesselated; it renders way too slow.

       OpenGL's default glFrontFace state assumes that front facing polygons
       (for the purpose of face culling) have vertices that wind counter
       clockwise when projected into window space.  This teapot is rendered
       with its front facing polygon vertices winding clockwise.  For OpenGL's
       default back face culling to work, you should use:

         glFrontFace(GL_CW);
         glutSolidTeapot(size);
         glFrontFace(GL_CCW);

       Both these bugs reflect issues in the original aux toolkit's teapot
       rendering routines (GLUT used the same teapot rendering routine).
