Class VertexBufferObject

java.lang.Object

com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.glutils.VertexBufferObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

VertexData, Disposable

public class VertexBufferObject
extends java.lang.Object
implements VertexData

A VertexData implementation based on OpenGL vertex buffer objects.

If the OpenGL ES context was lost you can call invalidate() to recreate a new OpenGL vertex buffer object. This class can be used seamlessly with OpenGL ES 1.x and 2.0.

In case OpenGL ES 2.0 is used in the application the data is bound via glVertexAttribPointer() according to the attribute aliases specified via VertexAttributes in the constructor.

Uses indirect Buffers on Android 1.5/1.6 to fix GC invocation due to leaking PlatformAddress instances.

VertexBufferObjects must be disposed via the dispose() method when no longer needed

Constructor Detail

VertexBufferObject

public VertexBufferObject(boolean isStatic,
                  int numVertices,
                  VertexAttribute... attributes)

Constructs a new interleaved VertexBufferObject.

Parameters:

isStatic - whether the vertex data is static.

numVertices - the maximum number of vertices

attributes - the VertexAttributes.

VertexBufferObject

public VertexBufferObject(boolean isStatic,
                  int numVertices,
                  VertexAttributes attributes)

Constructs a new interleaved VertexBufferObject.

Parameters:

isStatic - whether the vertex data is static.

numVertices - the maximum number of vertices

attributes - the VertexAttributes.

Method Detail

getAttributes

public VertexAttributes getAttributes()

Specified by:

getAttributes in interface VertexData

Returns:

the VertexAttributes as specified during construction.

getNumVertices

public int getNumVertices()

Specified by:

getNumVertices in interface VertexData

Returns:

the number of vertices this VertexData stores

getNumMaxVertices

public int getNumMaxVertices()

Specified by:

getNumMaxVertices in interface VertexData

Returns:

the number of vertices this VertedData can store

getBuffer

public java.nio.FloatBuffer getBuffer()

Returns the underlying FloatBuffer. If you modify the buffer contents they will be uploaded on the next call to VertexData.bind(). If you need immediate uploading use VertexData.setVertices(float[], int, int);

Specified by:

getBuffer in interface VertexData

Returns:

the underlying FloatBuffer holding the vertex data.

setVertices

public void setVertices(float[] vertices,
               int offset,
               int count)

Sets the vertices of this VertexData, discarding the old vertex data. The count must equal the number of floats per vertex times the number of vertices to be copied to this VertexData. The order of the vertex attributes must be the same as specified at construction time via VertexAttributes.

This can be called in between calls to VertexData.bind() and VertexData.unbind(). The vertex data will be updated instantly.

Specified by:

setVertices in interface VertexData

Parameters:

vertices - the vertex data

offset - the offset to start copying the data from

count - the number of floats to copy

bind

public void bind()

Binds this VertexData for rendering via glDrawArrays or glDrawElements.

Specified by:

bind in interface VertexData

bind

public void bind(ShaderProgram shader)

Binds this VertexBufferObject for rendering via glDrawArrays or glDrawElements

Specified by:

bind in interface VertexData

Parameters:

shader - the shader

unbind

public void unbind()

Unbinds this VertexData.

Specified by:

unbind in interface VertexData

unbind

public void unbind(ShaderProgram shader)

Unbinds this VertexBufferObject.

Specified by:

unbind in interface VertexData

Parameters:

shader - the shader

invalidate

public void invalidate()

Invalidates the VertexBufferObject so a new OpenGL buffer handle is created. Use this in case of a context loss.

dispose

public void dispose()

Disposes of all resources this VertexBufferObject uses.

Specified by:

dispose in interface VertexData

Specified by:

dispose in interface Disposable
