+.SH PARAMETERS
+_phead(_param1)
+Specifies the orientation of front-facing polygons.
+_const(CW) and _const(CCW) are accepted.
+The initial value is _const(CCW).
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+In a scene composed entirely of opaque closed surfaces,
+back-facing polygons are never visible.
+Eliminating these invisible polygons has the obvious benefit
+of speeding up the rendering of the image.
+To enable and disable elimination of back-facing polygons, call _cmnd(Enable)
+and _cmnd(Disable) with argument _const(CULL_FACE).
+.P
+The projection of a polygon to window coordinates is said to have
+clockwise winding if an imaginary object following the path
+from its first vertex,
+its second vertex,
+and so on,
+to its last vertex,
+and finally back to its first vertex,
+moves in a clockwise direction about the interior of the polygon.
+The polygon's winding is said to be counterclockwise if the imaginary
+object following the same path moves in a counterclockwise direction
+about the interior of the polygon.
+_cmnd specifies whether polygons with clockwise winding in window coordinates,
+or counterclockwise winding in window coordinates,
+are taken to be front-facing.
+Passing _const(CCW) to _param1 selects counterclockwise polygons as
+front-facing;
+_const(CW) selects clockwise polygons as front-facing.
+By default, counterclockwise polygons are taken to be front-facing.
+.SH ERRORS
+_const(INVALID_ENUM) is generated if _param1 is not an accepted value.
+.P
+_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd
+is executed between the execution of _cmnd(Begin)
+and the corresponding execution of _cmnd(End).
