ARBVertexBufferObject (LWJGL 3.2.4 SNAPSHOT

java.lang.Object
- org.lwjgl.opengl.ARBVertexBufferObject

```
public class ARBVertexBufferObject
extends java.lang.Object
```
Native bindings to the ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension.
This extension defines an interface that allows various types of data (especially vertex array data) to be cached in high-performance graphics memory on the server, thereby increasing the rate of data transfers.

Chunks of data are encapsulated within "buffer objects", which conceptually are nothing more than arrays of bytes, just like any chunk of memory. An API is provided whereby applications can read from or write to buffers, either via the GL itself (BufferDataARB, BufferSubDataARB, GetBufferSubDataARB) or via a pointer to the memory.

The latter technique is known as "mapping" a buffer. When an application maps a buffer, it is given a pointer to the memory. When the application finishes reading from or writing to the memory, it is required to "unmap" the buffer before it is once again permitted to use that buffer as a GL data source or sink. Mapping often allows applications to eliminate an extra data copy otherwise required to access the buffer, thereby enhancing performance. In addition, requiring that applications unmap the buffer to use it as a data source or sink ensures that certain classes of latent synchronization bugs cannot occur.

Although this extension only defines hooks for buffer objects to be used with OpenGL's vertex array APIs, the API defined in this extension permits buffer objects to be used as either data sources or sinks for any GL command that takes a pointer as an argument. Normally, in the absence of this extension, a pointer passed into the GL is simply a pointer to the user's data. This extension defines a mechanism whereby this pointer is used not as a pointer to the data itself, but as an offset into a currently bound buffer object. The buffer object ID zero is reserved, and when buffer object zero is bound to a given target, the commands affected by that buffer binding behave normally. When a nonzero buffer ID is bound, then the pointer represents an offset.

In the case of vertex arrays, this extension defines not merely one binding for all attributes, but a separate binding for each individual attribute. As a result, applications can source their attributes from multiple buffers. An application might, for example, have a model with constant texture coordinates and variable geometry. The texture coordinates might be retrieved from a buffer object with the usage mode "STATIC_DRAW", indicating to the GL that the application does not expect to update the contents of the buffer frequently or even at all, while the vertices might be retrieved from a buffer object with the usage mode "STREAM_DRAW", indicating that the vertices will be updated on a regular basis.

In addition, a binding is defined by which applications can source index data (as used by DrawElements, DrawRangeElements, and MultiDrawElements) from a buffer object. On some platforms, this enables very large models to be rendered with no more than a few small commands to the graphics device.

It is expected that a future extension will allow sourcing pixel data from and writing pixel data to a buffer object.

Promoted to core in OpenGL 1.5.

glBufferDataARB

public static void glBufferDataARB(int target,

                                   int usage)

Creates and initializes a buffer object's data store.

usage is a hint to the GL implementation as to how a buffer object's data store will be accessed. This enables the GL implementation to make more intelligent decisions that may significantly impact buffer object performance. It does not, however, constrain the actual usage of the data store. usage can be broken down into two parts: first, the frequency of access (modification and usage), and second, the nature of that access. The frequency of access may be one of these:

STREAM - The data store contents will be modified once and used at most a few times.
STATIC - The data store contents will be modified once and used many times.
DYNAMIC - The data store contents will be modified repeatedly and used many times.

The nature of access may be one of these:

DRAW - The data store contents are modified by the application, and used as the source for GL drawing and image specification commands.
READ - The data store contents are modified by reading data from the GL, and used to return that data when queried by the application.
COPY - The data store contents are modified by reading data from the GL, and used as the source for GL drawing and image specification commands.

Parameters:

target - the target buffer object. One of:

`ARRAY_BUFFER`	`ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER`	`PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER`	`PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER`
`TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER`	`UNIFORM_BUFFER`	`TEXTURE_BUFFER`	`COPY_READ_BUFFER`
`COPY_WRITE_BUFFER`	`DRAW_INDIRECT_BUFFER`	`ATOMIC_COUNTER_BUFFER`	`DISPATCH_INDIRECT_BUFFER`
`SHADER_STORAGE_BUFFER`	`PARAMETER_BUFFER_ARB`

size - the size in bytes of the buffer object's new data store

usage - the expected usage pattern of the data store. One of:

`STREAM_DRAW_ARB`	`STREAM_READ_ARB`	`STREAM_COPY_ARB`	`STATIC_DRAW_ARB`	`STATIC_READ_ARB`
`STATIC_COPY_ARB`	`DYNAMIC_DRAW_ARB`	`DYNAMIC_READ_ARB`	`DYNAMIC_COPY_ARB`

glBufferDataARB

STREAM - The data store contents will be modified once and used at most a few times.

glUnmapBufferARB

public static boolean glUnmapBufferARB(int target)

Relinquishes the mapping of a buffer object and invalidates the pointer to its data store.

Returns TRUE unless data values in the buffer’s data store have become corrupted during the period that the buffer was mapped. Such corruption can be the result of a screen resolution change or other window system-dependent event that causes system heaps such as those for high-performance graphics memory to be discarded. GL implementations must guarantee that such corruption can occur only during the periods that a buffer’s data store is mapped. If such corruption has occurred, UnmapBuffer returns FALSE, and the contents of the buffer’s data store become undefined.

Parameters:

target - the target buffer object being unmapped. One of:

`ARRAY_BUFFER`	`ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER`	`PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER`	`PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER`
