The sampling matrix determines how finely a NURBS curve or surface must be tessellated to satisfy the sampling tolerance (as determined by the \f3GLU_SAMPLING_TOLERANCE\fP property). The culling matrix is used in deciding if a NURBS curve or surface should be culled before rendering (when the \f3GLU_CULLING\fP property is turned on). .P \f3gluLoadSamplingMatrices\fP is necessary only if the \f3GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX\fP property is turned off (see \f3gluNurbsProperty\fP). Although it can be convenient to leave the \f3GLU_AUTO_LOAD_MATRIX\fP 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.) .SH SEE ALSO \f3gluGetNurbsProperty\fP, \f3gluNewNurbsRenderer\fP, \f3gluNurbsProperty\fP
