DESCRIPTION

glCullFace specifies whether front- or back-facing facets are culled (as specified by mode) when facet culling is enabled. Facet culling is enabled and disabled using the glEnable and glDisable commands with the argument GL_CULL_FACE. Facets include triangles, quadriliterals, polygons, and rectangles.

glFrontFace specifies which of the clockwise and counterclockwise facets are front-facing and back-facing. See glFrontFace.

ERRORS

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glCullFace is called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd.
