.SS DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[C]rtcSetGeometryTessellationRate\f[] function sets the
tessellation rate (\f[C]tessellationRate\f[] argument) for the specified
geometry (\f[C]geometry\f[] argument).
The tessellation rate can only be set for flat curves and subdivision
geometries.
For curves, the tessellation rate specifies the number of ray\-facing
quads per curve segment.
For subdivision surfaces, the tessellation rate specifies the number of
quads along each edge.
.SS EXIT STATUS
.PP
On failure an error code is set that can be queried using
\f[C]rtcGetDeviceError\f[].
