/* This program is a response to a question posed by Gil Colgate
   <gcolgate@sirius.com> about how lengthy a program is required using
   OpenGL compared to using  Direct3D immediate mode to "draw a
   triangle at screen coordinates 0,0, to 200,200 to 20,200, and I
   want it to be blue at the top vertex, red at the left vertex, and
   green at the right vertex".  I'm not sure how long the Direct3D
   program is; Gil has used Direct3D and his guess is "about 3000
   lines of code". */
