    NAME
           EZ_Begin, EZ_End - delimit the vertices of a primitive

    SYNOPSIS
           #include <EZ.h>

           void  EZ_Begin(int mode)
           void  EZ_End(void)

    ARGUMENTS
           mode  Specify the primitive that will be created from ver-
           tices between EZ_Begin and the paring EZ_End. mode is  one
           of  EZ_LINES,  EZ_LINE_STRIP,  EZ_LINE_LOOP, EZ_TRIANGLES,
           EZ_TRIANGLE_STRIP,       EZ_TRIANGLE_FAN,        EZ_QUADS,
           EZ_QUAD_STRIP, EZ_POLYGON and EZ_POINTS.

    DESCRIPTION
           The  EZ_Begin and EZ_End pair delimit vertices that define
           a primitive or a list of primitives.  mode determines  the
           interpretation  of subsequent vertices. The interpretation
           of mode is described below.

              EZ_LINES Treats each pair of  vertices  as  a  separate
              line segment.

              EZ_LINE_STRIP Subsequent vertices defines a polyline.

              EZ_LINE_LOOP Subsequent vertices defines a closed poly-
              line.

              EZ_TRIANGLES Treats each triplet of vertices as a sepa-
              rate triangle.

              EZ_TRIANGLE_STRIP  Subsequent vertices defines a trian-
              gular strip. The first 3  vertices  defines  the  first
              triangle;  vertices  3,2,4 defines the second triangle;
              vertices 3,4,5 defines the third triangle ...

              EZ_TRIANGLE_FAN Subsequent verticse defines a group  of
              triangles.  All  of  them share the first vertex. Thus,
              vertices 1,2,3 defines  the  first  triangle;  vertices
              1,2,4 defines the second triangle ...

              EZ_QUADS Treats every group of four vertices as a sepa-
              rate quadrilateral.

              EZ_QUAD_STRIP  Subsequent verticse defines a  group  of
              quadrilaterals. Vertices 1,2,4,3 defines the first one;
              vertices 3,4,6,5 defines the second one ...

              EZ_POLYGON Subsequent vertices defines a polygon.

              EZ_POINTS  Treats  subsequent  vertices  as  individual
              points.

           EZ_Begin/EZ_End  pair  cannot be nested. The only commands
           allowed inside  a  EZ_Begin/EZ_End  pair  are:  EZ_Vertex,
           EZ_Color,   EZ_Index,  EZ_Normal,  EZ_Material,  EZ_Light,
           EZ_CallList.
