NAME
       gluLoadSamplingMatrices - load NURBS sampling and culling matrices


C SPECIFICATION
       void gluLoadSamplingMatrices( GLUnurbs* nurb,
                                     const GLfloat *model,
                                     const GLfloat *perspective,
                                     const GLint *view )


PARAMETERS
       nurb         Specifies the NURBS object (created with gluNewNurbsRenderer).

       model        Specifies a modelview matrix (as from a glGetFloatv call).

       perspective  Specifies a projection matrix (as from a glGetFloatv call).

       view         Specifies a viewport (as from a glGetIntegerv call).

DESCRIPTION
       gluLoadSamplingMatrices  uses  model,  perspective,  and  view  to recompute the sampling and culling
       matrices stored in nurb.  The sampling matrix determines how finely a NURBS curve or surface must  be
       tessellated to satisfy the sampling tolerance (as determined by the GLU_SAMPLING_TOLERANCE property).
       The culling matrix is used in deciding if a NURBS curve or surface should be culled before  rendering
       (when the GLU_CULLING property is turned on).

       gluLoadSamplingMatrices  is  necessary  only  if the GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX property is turned off (see
       gluNurbsProperty).  Although it can be convenient to leave the GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX  property  turned
       on,  there  can  be  a performance penalty for doing so.  (A round trip to the GL server is needed to
       fetch the current values of the modelview matrix, projection matrix, and viewport.)
