glNormalPointer

define an array of normals

Signature

glNormalPointer( GLenum ( type ) , GLsizei ( stride ) , const GLvoid * ( pointer ) )-> void
glNormalPointer( type , stride , pointer )
glNormalPointerf( pointer )
glNormalPointeri( pointer )
glNormalPointers( pointer )

Parameters

VariablesDescription
type
Specifies the data type of each coordinate in the array. Symbolic constants GL_BYTE , GL_SHORT , GL_INT , GL_FLOAT , and GL_DOUBLE are accepted. The initial value is GL_FLOAT .
stride
Specifies the byte offset between consecutive normals. If stride is 0, the normals are understood to be tightly packed in the array. The initial value is 0.
pointer
Specifies a pointer to the first coordinate of the first normal in the array. The initial value is 0.
