typedef struct _CoglAttribute CoglAttribute;
/**
* cogl_attribute_new:
* @attribute_buffer: The #CoglAttributeBuffer containing the actual
* attribute data
* @name: The name of the attribute (used to reference it from GLSL)
* @stride: The number of bytes to jump to get to the next attribute
* value for the next vertex. (Usually
* <pre>sizeof (MyVertex)</pre>)
* @offset: The byte offset from the start of @attribute_buffer for
* the first attribute value. (Usually
* <pre>offsetof (MyVertex, component0)</pre>
* @components: The number of components (e.g. 4 for an rgba color or
* 3 for and (x,y,z) position)
* @type: FIXME
*
* Describes the layout for a list of vertex attribute values (For
* example, a list of texture coordinates or colors).
*
* The @name is used to access the attribute inside a GLSL vertex
* shader and there are some special names you should use if they are
* applicable:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem>"cogl_position_in" (used for vertex positions)</listitem>
* <listitem>"cogl_color_in" (used for vertex colors)</listitem>
* <listitem>"cogl_tex_coord0_in", "cogl_tex_coord1", ...
* (used for vertex texture coordinates)</listitem>
* <listitem>"cogl_normal_in" (used for vertex normals)</listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
*
* The attribute values corresponding to different vertices can either
* be tightly packed or interleaved with other attribute values. For
* example it's common to define a structure for a single vertex like:
* |[
* typedef struct
* {
* float x, y, z; /<!-- -->* position attribute *<!-- -->/
* float s, t; /<!-- -->* texture coordinate attribute *<!-- -->/
* } MyVertex;
* ]|
*
* And then create an array of vertex data something like:
* |[
* MyVertex vertices[100] = { .... }
* ]|
*
* In this case, to describe either the position or texture coordinate
* attribute you have to move <pre>sizeof (MyVertex)</pre> bytes to
* move from one vertex to the next. This is called the attribute
* @stride. If you weren't interleving attributes and you instead had
* a packed array of float x, y pairs then the attribute stride would
* be <pre>(2 * sizeof (float))</pre>. So the @stride is the number of
* bytes to move to find the attribute value of the next vertex.
*
* Normally a list of attributes starts at the beginning of an array.
* So for the <pre>MyVertex</pre> example above the @offset is the
* offset inside the <pre>MyVertex</pre> structure to the first
* component of the attribute. For the texture coordinate attribute
* the offset would be <pre>offsetof (MyVertex, s)</pre> or instead of
* using the offsetof macro you could use <pre>sizeof (float) * 3</pre>.
* If you've divided your @array into blocks of non-interleved
* attributes then you will need to calculate the @offset as the
* number of bytes in blocks preceding the attribute you're
* describing.
*
* An attribute often has more than one component. For example a color
* is often comprised of 4 red, green, blue and alpha @components, and a
* position may be comprised of 2 x and y @components. You should aim
* to keep the number of components to a minimum as more components
* means more data needs to be mapped into the GPU which can be a
* bottlneck when dealing with a large number of vertices.
*
* Finally you need to specify the component data type. Here you
* should aim to use the smallest type that meets your precision
* requirements. Again the larger the type then more data needs to be
* mapped into the GPU which can be a bottlneck when dealing with
* a large number of vertices.
*
* Returns: A newly allocated #CoglAttribute describing the
* layout for a list of attribute values stored in @array.
*
* Since: 1.4
* Stability: Unstable
