You probably rendered your rectangle as a PFGS_QUAD type.
Change it to a PFGS_POLY (these may be plural, I can't remember),
that happens to have four vertices.

This forces it to not make the quad into a tstrip of length two.

Subject: [info-performer] WIREFRAME without triangles - Desperate for
Help !!

Hello PFers!

We've just purchased some Performer licences for Linux and since we can't
purchase support for this, I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me the
answer to this seemingly basic question.

I've created a test program which constructs a rectangle rendered in
wireframe mode. Whether I set wireframe through the gset, its geoset or in
the global state with pfEnable, it always appeats as two congruent triangles
(i.e. rectangle with a single diagonal line).

Sure it must be possible to tell Performer not to trinagulise these models?

Please help!!
