Public Member Functions

Public Member Functions inherited from cil::Object
	Object ()
virtual	~Object ()

Public Attributes
std::shared_ptr< ArrayBuffer >	buffer
	This member holds a shared pointer to a ArrayBuffer class. It represents an array of 32-bit floating point numbers that represent the actual vertex attributes, like postition, normals, color, etc..
int	offset
	This memeber stores an integer value representing an offset(in bytes) from the beginning of the buffer.
unsigned int	stride
	This member stores an integer value representing the gap(in bytes) between consecutive vertices in the buffer. This value specifies how many bytes to jump to move from the attribute of one vertex to the next vertex in the buffer.
unsigned int	divisor
	This member stores an integer value used for instanced rendering. In instanced rendering, the same vertex attribute can be reused to draw multiple objects with different transformations.

Member Data Documentation

buffer

std::shared_ptr<ArrayBuffer> cil::Vertices::buffer

This member holds a shared pointer to a ArrayBuffer class. It represents an array of 32-bit floating point numbers that represent the actual vertex attributes, like postition, normals, color, etc..

divisor

unsigned int cil::Vertices::divisor

This member stores an integer value used for instanced rendering. In instanced rendering, the same vertex attribute can be reused to draw multiple objects with different transformations.

offset

int cil::Vertices::offset

This memeber stores an integer value representing an offset(in bytes) from the beginning of the buffer.

stride

unsigned int cil::Vertices::stride

This member stores an integer value representing the gap(in bytes) between consecutive vertices in the buffer. This value specifies how many bytes to jump to move from the attribute of one vertex to the next vertex in the buffer.
