Bug 236

---- Reported by aaronanderson 2006-07-09 21:38:44 ----

There are possibly two methods on a GLUtessellatorCallback implementation that 
may be invoked when a new vertex is introduced by the GLU Tesselator:

void combine(double[] coords, Object[] data, float[] weight, Object[] outData) 
void combineData(double[] coords, Object[] data, float[] weight, Object[] 
outData, Object polygonData) 

According to the C GLU routine the last parameter in the method is a pointer a 
new userData object created by the callback that is to be associated with the 
vertex. Since Java uses pass by reference there seems to be no way to associate 
a user defined object with the new vertex thus rendering this parameter useless.

The outgoing polygonData object is not allocated by the callback, but is
equivalent to the data passed in to gluTessBeginPolygon when it was called. This
is clearly specified in the C API. The new vertex's location is allocated by the
callback and is passed out as the first element of the outData array. The
demos.tess.Tess demo in the jogl-demos project clearly shows how to use the
combine callback.
