public interface GLArrayDataEditable
extends GLArrayData

The total number of bytes hold by the referenced buffer is: getComponentSize()* getComponentNumber() * getElementNumber()

Method Detail

sealed

boolean sealed()

enabled

boolean enabled()

isVBOWritten

boolean isVBOWritten()

Is the buffer written to the VBO ?

setVBOWritten

void setVBOWritten(boolean written)

Marks the buffer written to the VBO

destroy

void destroy(GL gl)

Specified by:

destroy in interface GLArrayData

reset

void reset(GL gl)

seal

void seal(GL gl,
          boolean seal)

Convenience method calling seal(boolean) and enableBuffer(GL, boolean).

See Also:

seal(boolean), enableBuffer(GL, boolean)

enableBuffer

void enableBuffer(GL gl,
                  boolean enable)

Enables the buffer if enable is true, and transfers the data if required. In case VBO is used, it is bound accordingly for the data transfer and association, i.e. it issued bindBuffer(GL, boolean). The VBO buffer is unbound when the method returns.

Disables the buffer if enable is false.

The action will only be executed, if the internal enable state differs, or 'setEnableAlways' was called with 'true'.

It is up to the user to enable/disable the array properly, ie in case of multiple data sets for the same vertex attribute (VA). Meaning in such case usage of one set while expecting another one to be used for the same VA implies decorating each usage with enable/disable.

See Also:

setEnableAlways(boolean)

bindBuffer

boolean bindBuffer(GL gl,
                   boolean bind)

if bind is true and the data uses VBO, the latter will be bound and data written to the GPU if required.

If bind is false and the data uses VBO, the latter will be unbound.

This method is exposed to allow data VBO arrays, i.e. GL.GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, to be bounded and written while keeping the VBO bound. The latter is in contrast to enableBuffer(GL, boolean), which leaves the VBO unbound, since it's not required for vertex attributes or pointers.

Parameters:

gl - current GL object

bind - true if VBO shall be bound and data written, otherwise clear VBO binding.

Returns:

true if data uses VBO and action was performed, otherwise false

setEnableAlways

void setEnableAlways(boolean always)

Affects the behavior of 'enableBuffer'. The default is 'false' This is useful when you mix up GLArrayData usage with conventional GL array calls or in case of a buggy GL VBO implementation.

See Also:

enableBuffer(GL, boolean)

reset

void reset()

seal

void seal(boolean seal)

If seal is true, it disables write operations to the buffer. Calls flip, ie limit:=position and position:=0.

If seal is false, it enable write operations continuing at the buffer position, where you left off at seal(true), ie position:=limit and limit:=capacity.

See Also:

seal(boolean)

rewind

void rewind()

padding

void padding(int doneInByteSize)

put

void put(Buffer v)

putb

void putb(byte v)

puts

void puts(short v)

puti

void puti(int v)

putx

void putx(int v)

putf

void putf(float v)
