+ Use <code class="function">gluBeginCurve</code> to mark the beginning of a NURBS
+ curve definition.
+ After
+ calling <code class="function">gluBeginCurve</code>, make one or more calls to
+ <a class="citerefentry" href="gluNurbsCurve.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gluNurbsCurve</span></span></a> to define the attributes of the curve.
+ Exactly one of the calls to <a class="citerefentry" href="gluNurbsCurve.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gluNurbsCurve</span></span></a> must have
+ a curve type of <code class="constant">GLU_MAP1_VERTEX_3</code> or <code class="constant">GLU_MAP1_VERTEX_4</code>.
+ To mark the end of the NURBS curve definition, call <a class="citerefentry" href="gluEndCurve.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gluEndCurve</span></span></a>.
+ </p><p>
+ GL evaluators are used to render the NURBS curve as a series of line
+ segments.
+ Evaluator state is preserved during rendering
+ with <a class="citerefentry" href="glPushAttrib.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glPushAttrib</span></span></a>(<code class="constant">GLU_EVAL_BIT</code>) and
+ <a class="citerefentry" href="glPopAttrib.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glPopAttrib</span></span></a>().
+ See the <a class="citerefentry" href="glPushAttrib.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glPushAttrib</span></span></a> reference page for details on exactly what state
+ these calls preserve.
