//Vertex coloring is nothing really special
//it is just normal coloring only setting the colors
//to specific vertices instead of whole objects.
//This then blends the colors into each other
//forming a nice little rainbow type thing
//with the colors I have chosen.

//So anyway, I did this with a normal quad
//but it does work with any shape you choose
//Here it is:
//I have started my quad.
//I then set the color red for the first vertex.
//I then draw that vertex.
//The next is green.
//Then blue.
//And finally white.

//glBegin(GL_QUADS);
//glColor3f(1,0,0);
//glVertex3f(-0.5, -0.5, 0.0);
//glColor3f(0,1,0);
//glVertex3f(-0.5, 0.5, 0.0);
//glColor3f(0,0,1);
//glVertex3f(0.5, 0.5, 0.0);
//glColor3f(1,1,1);
//glVertex3f(0.5, -0.5, 0.0);
//glEnd();

//Just remember to call each vertex after you call the color
//for this to work.
