 * Non-polyhedra:
 *   - We have implemented the sphere, cylinder, cone, and torus.
 *   - All shapes are characterized by two parameters: the number of
 *     subdivisions along two axes used to construct the shape's vertices
 *     (e.g. stacks and slices for the sphere).
 *     As different subdivisions are most suitable for different shapes,
 *     and are thus also named differently, I won't provide general comments
 *     on them here.
 *   - Solids are drawn using glDrawArrays and GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP. Each
 *     strip covers one revolution around one of the two subdivision axes
 *     of the shape.

/* Draw the geometric shape with filled triangles

 * Arguments:
 * GLfloat *vertices, GLfloat *normals, GLfloat *textcs, GLsizei numVertices
 *   The vertex coordinate, normal and texture coordinate buffers, and the
 *   number of entries in those
 * GLushort *vertIdxs
 *   a vertex indices buffer, optional (not passed for the polyhedra with
 *   triangular faces)
 * GLsizei numParts, GLsizei numVertPerPart
 *   polyhedra: not used for polyhedra with triangular faces
       (numEdgePerFace==3), as each vertex+normal pair is drawn only once,
       so no vertex indices are used.
       Else, the shape was triangulated (DECOMPOSE_TO_TRIANGLE), leading to
       reuse of some vertex+normal pairs, and thus the need to draw with
       glDrawElements. numParts is always 1 in this case (we can draw the
       whole object with one call to glDrawElements as the vertex index
       array contains separate triangles), and numVertPerPart indicates
       the number of vertex indices in the vertex array.
 *   non-polyhedra: number of parts (GL_TRIANGLE_STRIPs) to be drawn
       separately (numParts calls to glDrawElements) to create the object.
       numVertPerPart indicates the number of vertex indices to be
       processed at each draw call.
 *   numParts * numVertPerPart gives the number of entries in the vertex
 *     array vertIdxs
