<para>
|
|
<function>glVertexPointer</function> specifies the location and data format of an array of vertex coordinates
|
|
to use when rendering.
|
|
<parameter>size</parameter> specifies the number of coordinates per vertex, and must be 2, 3, or 4.
|
|
<parameter>type</parameter> specifies the data type of each coordinate, and <parameter>stride</parameter> specifies the byte stride from one
|
|
vertex to the next, allowing vertices and attributes
|
|
to be packed into a single array or stored in separate arrays.
|
|
(Single-array storage may be more efficient on some implementations;
|
|
see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glInterleavedArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.)
|

</para>
|

<para>
|
|
If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant> target
|
|
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>) while a vertex array is
|
|
specified, <parameter>pointer</parameter> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
|
|
Also, the buffer object binding (<constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant>) is saved as vertex array
|
|
client-side state (<constant>GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant>).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When a vertex array is specified,
|
|
<parameter>size</parameter>, <parameter>type</parameter>, <parameter>stride</parameter>, and <parameter>pointer</parameter> are saved as client-side
|
|
state, in addition to the current vertex array buffer object binding.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To enable and disable the vertex array, call <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnableClientState</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisableClientState</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with the argument <constant>GL_VERTEX_ARRAY</constant>. If
|
|
enabled, the vertex array is used when
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glArrayElement</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>

is called.

Execution of <function>glVertexPointer</function> is not allowed between the execution of

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBegin</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and the corresponding execution of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,

but an error may or may not be generated. If no error is generated,

the operation is undefined.

<function>glVertexPointer</function> is typically implemented on the client side.

<para>

Vertex array parameters are client-side state and are therefore not

|
saved or restored by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPopAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.

Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushClientAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPopClientAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> instead.
