This adds a clarification that cogl_vertex_buffer_add can also be used to replace a previously added attribute with the same name.

/**
|
|
* 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 (e.g. 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.

|
|
* @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_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
|
|
* @type: a #CoglAttributeType specifying the data type of each component.
|
|
* @normalized: If %TRUE, this specifies that values stored in an integer
|
|
* format should be mapped into the range [-1.0, 1.0] or [0.0, 1.0]
|
|
* for unsigned values. If %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 either call cogl_vertex_buffer_submit() or
|
|
* issue a draw call.
|
|
*
|
|
* Adds an attribute to a buffer, or replaces a previously added
|
|
* attribute with the same name.
|
|
*
|
|
* You either can use one of the built-in names such as "gl_Vertex", or
|
|
* "gl_MultiTexCoord0" 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(), or issue a draw call which automatically
|
|
* submits pending attribute changes. so the supplied pointer must remain
|
|
* valid until then. If you are updating an existing attribute (done by
|
|
* re-adding it) then you still 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 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)</note>
