    Description
    LineLoop
    Identical to LineStrip except the final indexed vertex is then connected back to the initial vertex to form a loop.
    Lines
    Every two vertices referenced by the indexbuffer will be considered a stand-alone line segment.
    LineStrip
    The first two vertices referenced by the indexbuffer create a line, from there, every additional vertex is paired with the preceding vertex to make a new, connected line.
    Points
    Identical to Connected except the final indexed vertex is then connected back to the initial vertex to form a loop.
    Quads
    Every four vertices referenced by the indexbuffer will be considered a stand-alone quad.
    QuadStrip
    The first four vertices referenced by the indexbuffer create a triangle, from there, every two additional vertices are paired with the two preceding vertices to make a new quad.
    TriangleFan
    The first three vertices (V0, V1, V2) referenced by the indexbuffer create a triangle, from there, every additional vertex is paired with the preceding vertex and the initial vertex (V0) to make a new triangle.
    Triangles
    Every three vertices referenced by the indexbuffer will be considered a stand-alone triangle.
    TriangleStrip
    The first three vertices referenced by the indexbuffer create a triangle, from there, every additional vertex is paired with the two preceding vertices to make a new triangle.
