.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies an index into the enabled vertex data arrays. 
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd commands are used within _cmnd(Begin)/_cmnd(End) pairs to
specify vertex and attribute data for point, line, and polygon
primitives. If _const(VERTEX_ARRAY) is enabled when _cmnd is called, a
single vertex is drawn, using 
vertex and attribute data taken from location _param1 of the enabled
arrays. If _const(VERTEX_ARRAY) is not enabled, no drawing occurs but
the attributes corresponding to the enabled arrays are modified. 
.P
Use _cmnd to construct primitives by indexing vertex data, rather than
by streaming through arrays of data in first-to-last order. Because
each call specifies only a single vertex, it is possible to explicitly
specify per-primitive attributes such as a single normal per
individual triangle.
.P
Changes made to array data between the execution of _cmnd(Begin) and the 
corresponding execution of _cmnd(End) may affect calls to _cmnd that are made
within the same _cmnd(Begin)/_cmnd(End) period in non-sequential ways.
That is, a call to 
.br
_cmnd that precedes a change to array data may 
access the changed data, and a call that follows a change to array data 
may access original data.
.SH NOTES
_cmnd is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
.P
_cmnd is included in display lists. If _cmnd is entered into a
display list, the necessary array data (determined by the array
pointers and enables) is also entered into the display list. Because
the array pointers and enables are client-side state, their values
affect display lists when the lists are created, not when the lists
are executed.
