NAME
       glColorMaterial - cause a material color to track the current color

C SPECIFICATION
       void glColorMaterial( GLenum face,
			     GLenum mode )

PARAMETERS
       face  Specifies	whether	 front,	 back, or both front and back material
	     parameters should track the current color.	 Accepted  values  are
	     GL_FRONT,	GL_BACK,  and GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.  The initial value is
	     GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.

       mode  Specifies which of several material parameters track the  current
	     color.   Accepted values are GL_EMISSION, GL_AMBIENT, GL_DIFFUSE,
	     GL_SPECULAR, and GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE.  The  initial  value  is
	     GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE.

DESCRIPTION
       glColorMaterial	specifies  which material parameters track the current
       color.  When GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is enabled, the  material	 parameter  or
       parameters specified by mode, of the material or materials specified by
       face, track the current color at all times.

       To enable and disable GL_COLOR_MATERIAL, call  glEnable	and  glDisable
       with  argument  GL_COLOR_MATERIAL.  GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is initially dis‐
       abled.

NOTES
       glColorMaterial makes it possible to change a subset of material param‐
       eters  for  each vertex using only the glColor command, without calling
       glMaterial.  If only such a subset of parameters is to be specified for
       each  vertex,  calling glColorMaterial is preferable to calling glMate‐
       rial.

       Call glColorMaterial before enabling GL_COLOR_MATERIAL.

       Calling glDrawElements may leave the current color  indeterminate.   If
       glColorMaterial	is  enabled  while the current color is indeterminate,
       the lighting material state specified by face and mode is also indeter‐
       minate.

       If  the GL version is 1.1 or greater, and GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is enabled,
       evaluated color values affect the results of the lighting  equation  as
       if  the current color were being modified, but no change is made to the
       tracking lighting parameter of the current color.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if face or mode is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION  is	 generated  if	glColorMaterial	 is   executed
       between	the  execution	of  glBegin and the corresponding execution of
       glEnd.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glIsEnabled with argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL
       glGet with argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL_PARAMETER
       glGet with argument GL_COLOR_MATERIAL_FACE
