GLVERTEXARRAYELEMENT(3G)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is glVertexArrayElementBuffer, and it lives in manual section 3G — yes, the 3G is part of the whole vibe. It configures the element array buffer binding of a vertex array object. Lowkey a tiny function, highkey important. ✨

✨ C SPECIFICATION ✨

void glVertexArrayElementBuffer(GLuint vaobj, GLuint buffer);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• vaobj — specifies the name of the vertex array object. This is the VAO bestie whose element array buffer binding we're messing with. 🫶
• buffer — specifies the name of the buffer object to use for the element array buffer binding. This is the buffer that's about to get attached. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

glVertexArrayElementBuffer binds a buffer object with id buffer to the element array buffer bind point of a vertex array object with id vaobj.

If buffer is zero, any existing element array buffer binding to vaobj is removed. Not me deleting the binding — yes, exactly that. 😭

🦋 ASSOCIATED GETS 🦋

• glGet() with argument GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING.
• glGetVertexArrayiv() with argument GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING.

💀 ERRORS 💀

• A GL_INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if vaobj is not the name of an existing vertex array object.
• A GL_INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if buffer is not zero or the name of an existing buffer object.

bestie, those are GL_INVALID_OPERATION situations — not a drill, okay? 👀

👑 VERSION SUPPORT 👑

The table is giving "OpenGL Version" energy. The Function / Feature Name column is glVertexArrayElementBuffer, and here is the whole row in list form so nobody has to squint at box-drawing characters:
