glEvalPoint.3gl







Name

  glEvalPoint1,	glEvalPoint2 - generate	and evaluate a single point in a mesh





C Specification

  void glEvalPoint1( GLint i )

  void glEvalPoint2( GLint i,

		     GLint j )





Parameters



  i  Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable i.



  j  Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable j (glEvalPoint2

     only).



Description

  glMapGrid and	glEvalMesh are used in tandem to efficiently generate and

  evaluate a series of evenly spaced map domain	values.	 glEvalPoint can be

  used to evaluate a single grid point in the same gridspace that is

  traversed by glEvalMesh.  Calling glEvalPoint1 is equivalent to calling



			   glEvalCoord1(i·du + u );

                                                1

				    where



				du = (u	-u )/n

				       2  1



  and n, u , and u  are	the arguments to the most recent glMapGrid1 command.

          1       2

  The one absolute numeric requirement is that if i = n, then the value

  computed from	i·du + u  is exactly u .

  In the two-dimensional case, glEvalPoint2, let



				 du=(u -u )/n

				      2	 1

				 dv=(v -v )/m

				      2	 1

  where	n, u , u , m, v	, and v	 are the arguments to the most recent

            1   2      1       2

  glMapGrid2 command.  Then the glEvalPoint2 command is	equivalent to calling



		      glEvalCoord2(i·du	+ u , j·dv + v );

				           1          1



  The only absolute numeric requirements are that if i = n, then the value

  computed from	i·du + u  is exactly u , and if	j = m, then the	value

                        1             2

  computed from	j·dv + v  is exactly v .
