This hides a number of internal structs and enums from the docs, and moves some functions to more appropriate sections as well as misc description updates (mostly for the vertex buffer api)

|
* SECTION:cogl-vertex-buffer
|
|
* @short_description: An API for submitting extensible arrays of vertex
|
|
* attributes to be mapped into the GPU for fast
|
|
* drawing.
|
|
*
|
|
* For example to describe a textured triangle, you could create a new cogl
|
|
* vertex buffer with 3 vertices, and then you might add 2 attributes for each
|
|
* vertex:
|
|
* <orderedlist>
|
|
* <listitem>
|
|
* a "gl_Position" describing the (x,y,z) position for each vertex.
|
|
* </listitem>
|
|
* <listitem>
|
|
* a "gl_MultiTexCoord0" describing the (tx,ty) texture coordinates for each
|
|
* vertex.
|
|
* </listitem>
|
|
* </orderedlist>
|
|
*
|
|
* The Vertex Buffer API is designed to be a fairly raw mechanism for
|
|
* developers to be able to submit geometry to Cogl in a format that can be
|
|
* directly consumed by an OpenGL driver and mapped into your GPU for fast
|
|
* re-use. It is designed to avoid repeated validation of the attributes by the
|
|
* driver; to minimize transport costs (considering indirect GLX use-cases)
|
|
* and to potentially avoid repeated format conversions when attributes are
|
|
* supplied in a format that is not natively supported by the GPU.
|
|
*
|
|
* Although this API does allow you to modify attributes after they have been
|
|
* submitted to the GPU you should be aware that modification is not that
|
|
* cheap, since it implies validating the new data and potentially the
|
|
* OpenGL driver will need to reformat it for the GPU.
|
|
*
|
|
* If at all possible think of tricks that let you re-use static attributes,
|
|
* and if you do need to repeatedly update attributes (e.g. for some kind of
|
|
* morphing geometry) then only update and re-submit the specific attributes
|
|
* that have changed.

/**
|
|
* cogl_vertex_buffer_add:
|
|
* @handle: A vertex buffer handle
|
|
* @attribute_name: The name of your attribute. It should be a valid GLSL
|
|
* variable name and standard attribute types must use one
|
|
* of following built-in names: (Note: they correspond to the
|
|
* built-in names of GLSL)
|
|
* <itemizedlist>
|
|
* <listitem>"gl_Color"</listitem>
|
|
* <listitem>"gl_Normal"</listitem>
|
|
* <listitem>"gl_MultiTexCoord0, gl_MultiTexCoord1, ..."</listitem>
|
|
* <listitem>"gl_Vertex"</listitem>
|
|
* </itemizedlist>
|
|
* To support adding multiple variations of the same attribute
|
|
* the name can have a detail component, E.g.
|
|
* "gl_Color::active" or "gl_Color::inactive"
|
|
* @n_components: The number of components per attribute and must be 1,2,3 or 4
|
|
* @gl_type: Specifies the data type of each component (GL_BYTE, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
|
|
* GL_SHORT, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, GL_INT, GL_UNSIGNED_INT or GL_FLOAT)
|
|
* @normalized: If GL_TRUE, this specifies that values stored in an integer
|
|
* format should be mapped into the range [-1.0, 1.0] or [0.1, 1.0]
|
|
* for unsigned values. If GL_FALSE they are converted to floats
|
|
* directly.
|
|
* @stride: This specifies the number of bytes from the start of one attribute
|
|
* value to the start of the next value (for the same attribute). So
|
|
* for example with a position interleved with color like this:
|
|
* XYRGBAXYRGBAXYRGBA, then if each letter represents a byte, the
|
|
* stride for both attributes is 6. The special value 0 means the
|
|
* values are stored sequentially in memory.
|
|
* @pointer: This addresses the first attribute in the vertex array. (This
|
|
* must remain valid until you call cogl_vertex_buffer_submit())
|
|
*
|
|
* This function lets you add an attribute to a buffer. You either use one
|
|
* of the built-in names such as "gl_Vertex", or "glMultiTexCoord0" to add
|
|
* standard attributes, like positions, colors and normals or you can add
|
|
* custom attributes for use in shaders.
|
|
*
|
|
* The number of vertices declared when calling cogl_vertex_buffer_new()
|
|
* determines how many attribute values will be read from the supplied pointer.
|
|
*
|
|
* The data for your attribute isn't copied anywhere until you call
|
|
* cogl_vertex_buffer_submit(), so the supplied pointer must remain valid
|
|
* until then. If you are updating an attribute by re-adding it then you will
|
|
* also need to re-call cogl_vertex_buffer_submit() to commit the changes to
|
|
* the GPU. (Be carefull to minimize the number of calls to
|
|
* cogl_vertex_buffer_submit though.)
|
|
*
|
|
* Note: If you are interleving attributes it is assumed that that each
|
|
* interleaved attribute starts no farther than +- stride bytes from the other
|
|
* attributes it is interleved with. I.e. this is ok:
|
|
* <programlisting>
|
|
* |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0|
|
|
* </programlisting>
|
|
* This is not ok:
|
|
* <programlisting>
|
|
* |- - - - -0-0-0-0-0-0 0 0 0 0|
|
|
* </programlisting>
|
|
* (Though you can have multiple groups of interleved attributes)
