cylinder(Quad :: i(),
Base :: f(),
Top :: f(),
Height :: f(),
Slices :: i(),
Stacks :: i()) ->
ok

External documentation.

####
deleteQuadric(Quad :: i()) -> ok

glu:deleteQuadric/1 destroys the quadrics object (created with glu:newQuadric/0) and frees any memory it uses. Once glu:deleteQuadric/1 has been called, Quad cannot be used again.

External documentation.

####
disk(Quad :: i(),
Inner :: f(),
Outer :: f(),
Slices :: i(),
Loops :: i()) ->
ok

glu:disk/5 renders a disk on the z = 0 plane. The disk has a radius of Outer and contains a concentric circular hole with a radius of Inner. If Inner is 0, then no hole is generated. The disk is subdivided around the z axis into slices (like pizza slices) and also about the z axis into rings (as specified by Slices and Loops, respectively).

External documentation.

####
errorString(Error :: enum()) -> string()

glu:errorString/1 produces an error string from a GL or GLU error code. The string is in ISO Latin 1 format. For example, glu:errorString/1(?GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY) returns the string out of memory.

External documentation.

####
getString(Name :: enum()) -> string()

glu:getString/1 returns a pointer to a static string describing the GLU version or the GLU extensions that are supported.

####

ok

### Types

EyeX = EyeY = EyeZ = CenterX = CenterY = CenterZ = UpX = UpY = UpZ = f()

glu:lookAt/9 creates a viewing matrix derived from an eye point, a reference point indicating the center of the scene, and an UP vector.

External documentation.

####
newQuadric() -> i()

glu:newQuadric/0 creates and returns a pointer to a new quadrics object. This object must be referred to when calling quadrics rendering and control functions. A return value of 0 means that there is not enough memory to allocate the object.

External documentation.

####
ortho2D(Left :: f(), Right :: f(), Bottom :: f(), Top :: f()) ->
ok

glu:ortho2D/4 sets up a two-dimensional orthographic viewing region. This is equivalent to calling gl:ortho/6 with near=-1 and far=1.

External documentation.

####
partialDisk(Quad, Inner, Outer, Slices, Loops, Start, Sweep) -> ok

### Types

Quad = i()
Inner = Outer = f()
Slices = Loops = i()
Start = Sweep = f()

glu:partialDisk/7 renders a partial disk on the z=0 plane. A partial disk is similar to a full disk, except that only the subset of the disk from Start through Start + Sweep is included (where 0 degrees is along the +f2yf axis, 90 degrees along the +x axis, 180 degrees along the -y axis, and 270 degrees along the -x axis).

####
perspective(Fovy :: f(), Aspect :: f(), ZNear :: f(), ZFar :: f()) ->
ok

glu:perspective/4 specifies a viewing frustum into the world coordinate system. In general, the aspect ratio in glu:perspective/4 should match the aspect ratio of the associated viewport. For example, aspect=2.0 means the viewer's angle of view is twice as wide in x as it is in y. If the viewport is twice as wide as it is tall, it displays the image without distortion.

####
pickMatrix(X :: f(),
Y :: f(),
DelX :: f(),
DelY :: f(),
Viewport :: {i(), i(), i(), i()}) ->
ok

glu:pickMatrix/5 creates a projection matrix that can be used to restrict drawing to a small region of the viewport. This is typically useful to determine what objects are being drawn near the cursor. Use glu:pickMatrix/5 to restrict drawing to a small region around the cursor. Then, enter selection mode (with gl:renderMode/1) and rerender the scene. All primitives that would have been drawn near the cursor are identified and stored in the selection buffer.

####
project(ObjX, ObjY, ObjZ, Model, Proj, View) ->
{i(), WinX :: f(), WinY :: f(), WinZ :: f()}

### Types

ObjX = ObjY = ObjZ = f()
Model = Proj = matrix()
View = {i(), i(), i(), i()}

glu:project/6 transforms the specified object coordinates into window coordinates using Model, Proj, and View. The result is stored in WinX, WinY, and WinZ. A return value of ?GLU_TRUE indicates success, a return value of ?GLU_FALSE indicates failure.

####
quadricDrawStyle(Quad :: i(), Draw :: enum()) -> ok

glu:quadricDrawStyle/2 specifies the draw style for quadrics rendered with Quad. The legal values are as follows:

glu:quadricOrientation/2 specifies what kind of orientation is desired for quadrics rendered with Quad. The Orientation values are as follows:

External documentation.

####
quadricTexture(Quad :: i(), Texture :: 0 | 1) -> ok

glu:quadricTexture/2 specifies if texture coordinates should be generated for quadrics rendered with Quad. If the value of Texture is ?GLU_TRUE, then texture coordinates are generated, and if Texture is ?GLU_FALSE, they are not. The initial value is ?GLU_FALSE.

WOut = HOut = i()
TypeOut = enum()

External documentation.

####
sphere(Quad :: i(), Radius :: f(), Slices :: i(), Stacks :: i()) ->
ok

glu:sphere/4 draws a sphere of the given radius centered around the origin. The sphere is subdivided around the z axis into slices and along the z axis into stacks (similar to lines of longitude and latitude).

####
tesselate(Normal, Vs :: [Vs]) -> {Triangles, VertexPos}

### Types

Normal = Vs = vertex()
Triangles = [integer()]
VertexPos = binary()

Triangulates a polygon, the polygon is specified by a Normal and Vs a list of vertex positions.

The function returns a list of indices of the vertices and a binary (64bit native float) containing an array of vertex positions, it starts with the vertices in Vs and may contain newly created vertices in the end.

Model = Proj = matrix()
View = {i(), i(), i(), i()}
NearVal = FarVal = f()

glu:unProject/6 maps the specified window coordinates into object coordinates using Model, Proj, and View. The result is stored in ObjX, ObjY, and ObjZ. A return value of ?GLU_TRUE indicates success; a return value of ?GLU_FALSE indicates failure.
