GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB.
params
Returns the requested data.
Description
glGetVertexAttrib returns in
params the value of a generic vertex
attribute parameter. The generic vertex attribute to be queried
is specified by index, and the parameter
to be queried is specified by pname.
The accepted parameter names are as follows:
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING
params returns a
single value, the name of the buffer object currently bound to
the binding point corresponding to generic vertex attribute array
index. If no buffer object is bound,
0 is returned. The initial value is 0.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_ENABLED
params returns a
single value that is non-zero (true) if the vertex
attribute array for index is
enabled and 0 (false) if it is disabled. The initial
value is GL_FALSE.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_SIZE
params returns a
single value, the size of the vertex attribute array
for index. The size is the
number of values for each element of the vertex
attribute array, and it will be 1, 2, 3, or 4. The
initial value is 4.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_STRIDE
params returns a
single value, the array stride for (number of bytes
between successive elements in) the vertex attribute
array for index. A value of 0
indicates that the array elements are stored
sequentially in memory. The initial value is 0.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_TYPE
params returns a
single value, a symbolic constant indicating the
array type for the vertex attribute array for
index. Possible values are
GL_BYTE,
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
GL_SHORT,
GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,
GL_INT,
GL_UNSIGNED_INT,
GL_FLOAT, and
GL_DOUBLE. The initial value is
GL_FLOAT.
GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_NORMALIZED
params returns a
single value that is non-zero (true) if fixed-point
data types for the vertex attribute array indicated
by index are normalized when
they are converted to floating point, and 0 (false)
otherwise. The initial value is
GL_FALSE.
GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB
params returns four
values that represent the current value for the
generic vertex attribute specified by index. Generic
vertex attribute 0 is unique in that it has no
current state, so an error will be generated if
index is 0. The initial value
for all other generic vertex attributes is
(0,0,0,1).
All of the parameters except GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB
represent client-side state.
Notes
glGetVertexAttrib is available only
if the GL version is 2.0 or greater.
If an error is generated, no change is made to the
contents of params.
Errors
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if
index is greater than or equal to
GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if
pname is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if
index is 0 and
pname is
GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB.
