I am not sure but I guess the normal of a graphics primitive will
require some ordering (how else would you define the inside and
outside of a surface?). A quick search through the book didnt reveal
anything on this but my hunch is that you need to choose a rule
consistent with the geometry you are trying to represent.
Of course, this is my guess so I could be completely wrong.
