NAME

6       al_create_vertex_buffer - Allegro 5 API
7

SYNOPSIS

9              #include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>
10
11              ALLEGRO_VERTEX_BUFFER* al_create_vertex_buffer(ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL* decl,
12                 const void* initial_data, int num_vertices, int flags)
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Creates  a  vertex  buffer.  Can return NULL if the buffer could not be
16       created (e.g. the system only supports write-only buffers).
17
18              Note:
19
20              This is an advanced  feature,  often  unsupported  on  lower-end
21              video cards.  Be extra mindful of this function failing and make
22              arrangements for fallback drawing functionality or a nice  error
23              message for users with such lower-end cards.
24
25       Parameters:
26
27       • decl  -  Vertex  type  that this buffer will hold.  NULL implies that
28         this buffer will hold ALLEGRO_VERTEX(3) vertices
29
30       • initial_data - Memory buffer to copy from to  initialize  the  vertex
31         buffer.  Can be NULL, in which case the buffer is uninitialized.
32
33       • num_vertices - Number of vertices the buffer will hold
34
35       • flags - A combination of the ALLEGRO_PRIM_BUFFER_FLAGS(3) flags spec‐
36         ifying how this buffer will be created.  Passing 0  is  the  same  as
37         passing ALLEGRO_PRIM_BUFFER_STATIC.
