.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the rasterization mode.
Three values are accepted:
_const(RENDER),
_const(SELECT), and
_const(FEEDBACK).
The initial value is _const(RENDER).
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd sets the rasterization mode.
It takes one argument,
_param1,
which can assume one of three predefined values: 
.TP 16
_const(RENDER)
Render mode. Primitives are rasterized,
producing pixel fragments,
which are written into the frame buffer.
This is the normal mode
and also the default mode.
.TP
_const(SELECT) 
Selection mode.
No pixel fragments are produced,
and no change to the frame buffer contents is made.
Instead,
a record of the names of primitives that would have been drawn
if the render mode had been _const(RENDER) is returned in a select buffer,
which must be created (see _cmnd(SelectBuffer)) before selection mode 
is entered.
.TP
_const(FEEDBACK)
Feedback mode.
No pixel fragments are produced,
and no change to the frame buffer contents is made.
Instead,
the coordinates and attributes of vertices that would have been drawn
if the render mode had been _const(RENDER) is returned in a feedback buffer,
which must be created (see _cmnd(FeedbackBuffer)) before feedback mode
is entered.
.P
The return value of _cmnd is determined by the render mode at the time
_cmnd is called,
rather than by _param1.
The values returned for the three render modes are as follows:
.TP 16
_const(RENDER)
0.
.TP
_const(SELECT)
The number of hit records transferred to the select buffer.
.TP
_const(FEEDBACK)
The number of values (not vertices) transferred to the feedback buffer.
.P
See the _cmnd(SelectBuffer) and _cmnd(FeedbackBuffer) reference pages for
more details concerning selection and feedback operation.
.SH NOTES
If an error is generated,
_cmnd returns 0 regardless of the current render mode.
.SH ERRORS
_const(INVALID_ENUM) is generated if _param1 is not one of the three
accepted values.
.P
_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd(SelectBuffer) is called
while the render mode is _const(SELECT),
or if _cmnd is called with argument _const(SELECT) before
_cmnd(SelectBuffer) is called at least once.
.P
_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd(FeedbackBuffer) is called
while the render mode is _const(FEEDBACK),
or if _cmnd is called with argument _const(FEEDBACK) before
_cmnd(FeedbackBuffer) is called at least once.
.P
_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd
is executed between the execution of _cmnd(Begin)
and the corresponding execution of _cmnd(End).
.SH ASSOCIATED GETS
_cmnd(Get) with argument _const(RENDER_MODE)
