glVertexAttribPointer

define an array of generic vertex attribute data

function glVertexAttribPointer(int $index, int $size, int $type, bool $normalized, int $stride, int $offset) : void
arguments
  1. int $index Specifies the index of the generic vertex attribute to be modified.
  2. int $size Specifies the number of components per generic vertex attribute. Must be 1, 2, 3, 4. Additionally, the symbolic constant GL_BGRA is accepted by glVertexAttribPointer. The initial value is 4.
  3. int $type Specifies the data type of each component in the array. The symbolic constants GL_BYTE, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_SHORT, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, GL_INT, and GL_UNSIGNED_INT are accepted by glVertexAttribPointer and glVertexAttribIPointer. Additionally GL_HALF_FLOAT, GL_FLOAT, GL_DOUBLE, GL_FIXED, GL_INT_2_10_10_10_REV, GL_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV and GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10F_11F_11F_REV are accepted by glVertexAttribPointer. GL_DOUBLE is also accepted by glVertexAttribLPointer and is the only token accepted by the type parameter for that function. The initial value is GL_FLOAT.
  4. bool $normalized For glVertexAttribPointer, specifies whether fixed-point data values should be normalized (GL_TRUE) or converted directly as fixed-point values (GL_FALSE) when they are accessed.
  5. int $stride Specifies the byte offset between consecutive generic vertex attributes. If stride is 0, the generic vertex attributes are understood to be tightly packed in the array. The initial value is 0.
  6. int $offset
returns

void
