- Defines a list of points to make in to primitives.
- The type of primitive is passed when you call it.
Allowed Primitive Types
edit
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_POINTS
- Each vertex is a single point
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_LINES
- Must be a multiple of 2
- Each pair of vertices is a independent line segment.
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_LINE_STRIP
- Draws a connected group of line segments from the first vertex to the last. After the first Vertices each additonal Vertices draws a new line.
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_LINE_LOOP
- Draws a connected group of line segments from the first vertex to the last. The last line is defined by the first and last vertex makeing a closed loop.
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_TRIANGLES
- Each triplet of vertices as an independent triangle.
- Must be a multiple of 3
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP
- Draws a connected group of triangles. After the first 2 vertices each additonal point defines a new triangle. The triangle is made up of the last 2 and the newest vertex moving down the list.
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_TRIANGLE_FAN
- Draws a connected group of triangles. After the first 2 vertices each additonal point defines a new triangle. The triangle is made up of the first the last and the newest vertex moving down the list.
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_QUADS
- Each group of four vertices as an independent quadriliteral.
- Must be a multiple of 4
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_QUAD_STRIP
- Draws a connected group of quadriliterals. After the first 2 Vertices each additonal pair Vertices makes a new quadriliteral.
- Must be a multiple of 2 after the first 2 Vertices.
- [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_POLYGON
- Draws a single polygon. same as GL_LINE_STRIP
- Must have 3 or more Vertices.
