.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the tessellation object (created with _cmnd(NewTess)).
_phead(_param2)
Specifies a pointer to user polygon data.
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd(TessBeginPolygon) and _cmnd(TessEndPolygon) delimit the definition of a
convex, concave or self-intersecting polygon. Within each _cmnd(TessBeginPolygon)/_cmnd(TessEndPolygon)
pair, there must be one or more calls to _cmnd(TessBeginContour)/_cmnd(TessEndContour). 
Within each contour, there are zero or more calls to _cmnd(TessVertex). The vertices 
specify a closed contour (the last vertex of each contour is automatically linked 
to the first). See the _cmnd(TessVertex), _cmnd(TessBeginContour), and 
_cmnd(TessEndContour) reference pages for more details.
.P
_param2 is a pointer to a user-defined data structure. If the appropriate callback(s) 
are specified (see _cmnd(TessCallback)), then this pointer is returned to the 
callback function(s). Thus, it is a convenient way to store per-polygon information.
.P
Once _cmnd(TessEndPolygon) is called, the polygon is tessellated, and the
resulting triangles are described through callbacks.
See _cmnd(TessCallback) for descriptions of the callback functions.
.SH EXAMPLE
A quadrilateral with a triangular hole in it can be described as follows:

.Ex
gluTessBeginPolygon(tobj, NULL);
 gluTessBeginContour(tobj);
   gluTessVertex(tobj, v1, v1);
   gluTessVertex(tobj, v2, v2);

   gluTessVertex(tobj, v4, v4);
 gluTessEndContour(tobj);

   gluTessVertex(tobj, v5, v5);
