vertex_begin(buffer, format);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| buffer | The buffer to be written to. |
| format | The vertex format to use. |
Returns: N/A
With this function you begin the definition of a custom
primitive. You assign a buffer to write the primitive to, and the
vertex format to use (previously defined using the vertex format functions). You
would then define the necessary points for each vertex of the
primitive before calling vertex_end to finalise the primitive
creation.
vertex_format_begin();
vertex_format_add_position();
vertex_format_add_colour();
vertex_format_add_textcoord();
v_format = vertex_format_end();
v_buff = vertex_create_buffer();
vertex_begin(v_buff, v_format);
The above code will define a new vertex format, create a new buffer and start the definition process of a new primitive.
