+ <code class="function">glPolygonMode</code> controls the interpretation of polygons for rasterization.
+ <em class="parameter"><code>face</code></em> describes which polygons <em class="parameter"><code>mode</code></em> applies to:
+ both front and back-facing polygons (<code class="constant">GL_FRONT_AND_BACK</code>).
+ The polygon mode affects only the final rasterization of polygons.
+ In particular,
+ a polygon's vertices are lit and
+ the polygon is clipped and possibly culled before these modes are applied.
+ </p><p>
+ Three modes are defined and can be specified in <em class="parameter"><code>mode</code></em>:
+ </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">GL_POINT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
+ Polygon vertices that are marked as the start of a boundary edge
+ are drawn as points.
+ Point attributes such as

+ the rasterization of the points.
+ Polygon rasterization attributes other than <code class="constant">GL_POLYGON_MODE</code> have no effect.

+ Boundary edges of the polygon are drawn as line segments.
+ Line attributes such as
