🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to GLBINDVERTEXARRAY(3G) — the manual page for glBindVertexArray, aka the call that binds a vertex array object. iconic OpenGL behavior, no cap 💅

✨ C SPECIFICATION ✨

void glBindVertexArray(GLuint array);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • array — specifies the name of the vertex array to bind. yes bestie, that’s the whole parameter. simple, stunning, effective ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

glBindVertexArray binds the vertex array object with name array. <pink>arrayis the name of a vertex array object previously returned from a call toglGenVertexArrays()`, or zero to break the existing vertex array object binding.

If no vertex array object with name array exists, one is created when array is first bound. If the bind is successful, no change is made to the state of the vertex array object, and any previous vertex array object binding is broken. periodt 💖

💀 ERRORS 💀

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if array is not zero or the name of a vertex array object previously returned from a call to glGenVertexArrays(). so yeah, don’t just pass it any random little number and expect main character energy — it will not slay 😭

👑 VERSION SUPPORT 👑

the Function / Feature Name here is glBindVertexArray, and here’s the OpenGL Version vibe check:

  • 2.0: -
  • 2.1: -
  • 3.0: ✔
  • 3.1: ✔
  • 3.2: ✔
  • 3.3: ✔
  • 4.0: ✔
  • 4.1: ✔
  • 4.2: ✔
  • 4.3: ✔
  • 4.4: ✔
  • 4.5: ✔

so it’s giving “not in 2.0 or 2.1, but fully present from 3.0 through 4.5,” and honestly? we love a consistent queen 🌈
