Class VertexBufferObjectWithVAO

java.lang.Object
gaiasky.util.gdx.mesh.VertexBufferObjectWithVAO
All Implemented Interfaces:
com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Disposable, IntVertexData
public class VertexBufferObjectWithVAO extends Object implements IntVertexData

A VertexData implementation that uses vertex buffer objects and vertex array objects. (This is required for OpenGL 3.0+ core profiles. In particular, the default VAO has been deprecated, as has the use of client memory for passing vertex attributes.) Use of VAOs should give a slight performance benefit since you don't have to bind the attributes on every draw anymore.

If the OpenGL ES context was lost you can call invalidate() to recreate a new OpenGL vertex buffer object.

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

Code adapted from VertexBufferObject.

    • VertexBufferObjectWithVAO

      public VertexBufferObjectWithVAO(boolean isStatic, int numVertices, com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.VertexAttribute... attributes)
      Constructs a new interleaved VertexBufferObjectWithVAO.
      Parameters:
      isStatic - whether the vertex data is static.
      numVertices - the maximum number of vertices
      attributes - the VertexAttributes.

    • VertexBufferObjectWithVAO

      public VertexBufferObjectWithVAO(boolean isStatic, int numVertices, com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.VertexAttributes attributes)
      Constructs a new interleaved VertexBufferObjectWithVAO.
      Parameters:
      isStatic - whether the vertex data is static.
      numVertices - the maximum number of vertices
      attributes - the VertexAttributes.

  • Method Details

    • getAttributes

      public com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.VertexAttributes getAttributes()
      Specified by:
      getAttributes in interface IntVertexData
      Returns:
      the VertexAttributes as specified during construction.

    • getNumVertices

      public int getNumVertices()
      Specified by:
      getNumVertices in interface IntVertexData
      Returns:
      the number of vertices this VertexData stores

    • getNumMaxVertices

      public int getNumMaxVertices()
      Specified by:
      getNumMaxVertices in interface IntVertexData
      Returns:
      the number of vertices this VertedData can store

    • getBuffer

      public FloatBuffer getBuffer()
      Description copied from interface: IntVertexData
      Returns the underlying FloatBuffer and marks it as dirty, causing the buffer contents to be uploaded on the next call to bind. If you need immediate uploading use IntVertexData.setVertices(float[], int, int); Any modifications made to the Buffer *after* the call to bind will not automatically be uploaded.
      Specified by:
      getBuffer in interface IntVertexData
      Returns:
      the underlying FloatBuffer holding the vertex data.

    • setVertices

      public void setVertices(float[] vertices, int offset, int count)
      Description copied from interface: IntVertexData
      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 bind and unbind. The vertex data will be updated instantly.

      Specified by:
      setVertices in interface IntVertexData
      Parameters:
      vertices - the vertex data
      offset - the offset to start copying the data from
      count - the number of floats to copy

    • updateVertices

      public void updateVertices(int targetOffset, float[] vertices, int sourceOffset, int count)
      Description copied from interface: IntVertexData
      Update (a portion of) the vertices. Does not resize the backing buffer.
      Specified by:
      updateVertices in interface IntVertexData
      Parameters:
      vertices - the vertex data
      sourceOffset - the offset to start copying the data from
      count - the number of floats to copy
