.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the number of coordinates per vertex; must be 2, 3, or
4. The initial value is 4.
_phead(_param2)
Specifies the data type of each coordinate in the array.
Symbolic constants
_const(SHORT),
_const(INT),
_const(FLOAT),
and _const(DOUBLE)
are accepted. The initial value is _const(FLOAT).
_phead(_param3)
Specifies the byte offset between consecutive
vertices. If _param3 is 0, the vertices are understood to be tightly packed in
the array. The initial value
is 0.
_phead(_param4)
Specifies a pointer to the first coordinate of the first vertex in the
array. The initial value is 0.
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd specifies the location and data format of an array of vertex coordinates
to use when rendering.
_param1 specifies the number of coordinates per vertex and
_param2 the data type of
the coordinates. _param3 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 _cmnd(InterleavedArrays).)
When a vertex array is
specified, _param1, _param2, _param3, and _param4 are saved as client-side
state.
.P
To enable and disable the vertex array, call _cmnd(EnableClientState) and
.br
_cmnd(DisableClientState) with the argument _const(VERTEX_ARRAY). If
enabled, the vertex array is used when
_cmnd(DrawArrays), _cmnd(DrawElements), or _cmnd(ArrayElement) is called.
.P
Use _cmnd(DrawArrays) to construct a sequence of primitives (all of
the same type)
from prespecified vertex and vertex attribute arrays.
Use _cmnd(ArrayElement) to specify primitives
by indexing vertices and vertex attributes and _cmnd(DrawElements) to
construct a sequence of primitives by indexing vertices and vertex attributes.
.SH NOTES
_cmnd is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
.P
The vertex array is initially disabled and isn't accessed when
_cmnd(ArrayElement), _cmnd(DrawElements) or _cmnd(DrawArrays) is called.
.P
Execution of _cmnd is not allowed between the execution of
_cmnd(Begin) and the corresponding execution of _cmnd(End),
but an error may or may not be generated. If no error is generated,
the operation is undefined.
.P
_cmnd is typically implemented on the client side.
.P
Vertex array parameters are client-side state and are therefore not
saved or restored by _cmnd(PushAttrib) and _cmnd(PopAttrib).
Use _cmnd(PushClientAttrib) and _cmnd(PopClientAttrib) instead.
.SH ERRORS
_const(INVALID_VALUE) is generated if _param1 is not 2, 3, or 4.
.P
_const(INVALID_ENUM) is generated if _param2 is is not an accepted value.
.P
_const(INVALID_VALUE) is generated if _param3 is negative.
