ARGUMENTS

       ncp       number of contour points

       contour   2D contour

       cont_normal
                 2D contour normals

       up        up vector for contour

       npoints   numpoints in poly-line

       point_array
                 polyline vertices

       color_array
                 colors at polyline verts

DESCRIPTION

       Extrude  arbitrary 2D contour along arbitrary 3D path. The argument "contour" specifies the 2D contour to
       be extruded, while the argument "point_array" specifies the path along which to extrude.  The vector "up"
       defines the orientation of the contour y-axis in real 3D space.

       Note that neither the very first segment, nor the very  last  segment  are  drawn.  The  first  and  last
       segments  serve  only to define the angle of the join at the very ends of the polyline. Thus, to draw one
       segment, three must be specified. To draw two segments, four must be specified, etc.

       The normal array may be NULL. If it is, normal vectors will  NOT  be  automatically  generated,  and  the
       object will look terrible when lit.

       The  color array may be NULL. If NULL, the current color is used. If not NULL, the glColor3f() routine is
       used to set the color; therefore, specifying the glColorMaterial() subroutine before this  primitive  can
       be used to set diffuse, specular, ambient, etc. colors.
