Class ARBTransformFeedbackInstanced

java.lang.Object

org.lwjgl.opengl.ARBTransformFeedbackInstanced

public class ARBTransformFeedbackInstanced
extends java.lang.Object

Native bindings to the ARB_transform_feedback_instanced extension.

Multiple instances of geometry may be specified to the GL by calling functions such as DrawArraysInstanced and DrawElementsInstanced. Further, the results of a transform feedback operation may be returned to the GL by calling DrawTransformFeedback, or DrawTransformFeedbackStream. However, it is not presently possible to draw multiple instances of data transform feedback without using a query and the resulting round trip from server to client.

This extension adds functionality to draw multiple instances of the result of a transform feedback operation.

Requires OpenGL 4.0 or ARB_transform_feedback2. Requires OpenGL 3.1 or ARB_draw_instanced. Promoted to core in OpenGL 4.2.

Method Detail

glDrawTransformFeedbackInstanced

public static void glDrawTransformFeedbackInstanced(int mode,
                                                    int id,
                                                    int primcount)

Renders multiple instances of primitives using a count derived from a transform feedback object.

Parameters:

mode - what kind of primitives to render. One of:

POINTS	LINE_STRIP	LINE_LOOP	LINES	TRIANGLE_STRIP	TRIANGLE_FAN	TRIANGLES
LINES_ADJACENCY	LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY	TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY	TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY	PATCHES	POLYGON	QUADS
QUAD_STRIP

id - the name of a transform feedback object from which to retrieve a primitive count

primcount - the number of instances of the geometry to render

glDrawTransformFeedbackStreamInstanced

public static void glDrawTransformFeedbackStreamInstanced(int mode,
                                                          int id,
                                                          int stream,
                                                          int primcount)

Renders multiple instances of primitives using a count derived from a specifed stream of a transform feedback object.

Parameters:

mode - what kind of primitives to render. One of:

POINTS	LINE_STRIP	LINE_LOOP	LINES	TRIANGLE_STRIP	TRIANGLE_FAN	TRIANGLES
LINES_ADJACENCY	LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY	TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY	TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY	PATCHES	POLYGON	QUADS
QUAD_STRIP

id - the name of a transform feedback object from which to retrieve a primitive count

stream - the index of the transform feedback stream from which to retrieve a primitive count

primcount - the number of instances of the geometry to render
