PARAMETERS
index
Specifies the index of the generic vertex attribute to be modified.
v
Specifies a pointer to an array of values to be used for the
generic vertex attribute.
C SPECIFICATION
void glVertexAttribP1ui(GLuint index, GLenum type,
GLboolean normalized, GLuint value);
void glVertexAttribP2ui(GLuint index, GLenum type,
GLboolean normalized, GLuint value);
void glVertexAttribP3ui(GLuint index, GLenum type,
GLboolean normalized, GLuint value);
void glVertexAttribP4ui(GLuint index, GLenum type,
GLboolean normalized, GLuint value);
PARAMETERS
index
Specifies the index of the generic vertex attribute to be modified.
type
Type of packing used on the data. This parameter must be
GL_INT_10_10_10_2 or GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2 to specify signed
or unsigned data, respectively.
normalized
If GL_TRUE, then the values are to be converted to floating point
values by normalizing. Otherwise, they are converted directly to
floating point values.
value
Specifies the new packed value to be used for the specified vertex
attribute.
DESCRIPTION
The glVertexAttrib family of entry points allows an application to pass
generic vertex attributes in numbered locations.
Generic attributes are defined as four-component values that are
organized into an array. The first entry of this array is numbered 0,
and the size of the array is specified by the implementation-dependent
constant GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS. Individual elements of this array can
be modified with a glVertexAttrib call that specifies the index of the
element to be modified and a value for that element.
These commands can be used to specify one, two, three, or all four
components of the generic vertex attribute specified by index. A 1 in
the name of the command indicates that only one value is passed, and it
will be used to modify the first component of the generic vertex
attribute. The second and third components will be set to 0, and the
fourth component will be set to 1. Similarly, a 2 in the name of the
command indicates that values are provided for the first two
components, the third component will be set to 0, and the fourth
component will be set to 1. A 3 in the name of the command indicates
that values are provided for the first three components and the fourth
component will be set to 1, whereas a 4 in the name indicates that
values are provided for all four components.
The letters s, f, i, d, ub, us, and ui indicate whether the arguments
are of type short, float, int, double, unsigned byte, unsigned short,
or unsigned int. When v is appended to the name, the commands can take
a pointer to an array of such values.
Additional capitalized letters can indicate further alterations to the
default behavior of the glVertexAttrib function:
The commands containing N indicate that the arguments will be passed as
fixed-point values that are scaled to a normalized range according to
the component conversion rules defined by the OpenGL specification.
Signed values are understood to represent fixed-point values in the
range [-1,1], and unsigned values are understood to represent
fixed-point values in the range [0,1].
The commands containing I indicate that the arguments are extended to
full signed or unsigned integers.
The commands containing P indicate that the arguments are stored as
packed components within a larger natural type.
The commands containing L indicate that the arguments are full 64-bit
quantities and should be passed directly to shader inputs declared as
64-bit double precision types.
OpenGL Shading Language attribute variables are allowed to be of type
mat2, mat3, or mat4. Attributes of these types may be loaded using the
glVertexAttrib entry points. Matrices must be loaded into successive
generic attribute slots in column major order, with one column of the
matrix in each generic attribute slot.
A user-defined attribute variable declared in a vertex shader can be
bound to a generic attribute index by calling glBindAttribLocation().
This allows an application to use more descriptive variable names in a
vertex shader. A subsequent change to the specified generic vertex
attribute will be immediately reflected as a change to the
corresponding attribute variable in the vertex shader.
The binding between a generic vertex attribute index and a user-defined
attribute variable in a vertex shader is part of the state of a program
object, but the current value of the generic vertex attribute is not.
The value of each generic vertex attribute is part of current state,
just like standard vertex attributes, and it is maintained even if a
different program object is used.
An application may freely modify generic vertex attributes that are not
bound to a named vertex shader attribute variable. These values are
simply maintained as part of current state and will not be accessed by
the vertex shader. If a generic vertex attribute bound to an attribute
variable in a vertex shader is not updated while the vertex shader is
executing, the vertex shader will repeatedly use the current value for
the generic vertex attribute.
NOTES
Generic vertex attributes can be updated at any time.
It is possible for an application to bind more than one attribute name
to the same generic vertex attribute index. This is referred to as
aliasing, and it is allowed only if just one of the aliased attribute
variables is active in the vertex shader, or if no path through the
vertex shader consumes more than one of the attributes aliased to the
same location. OpenGL implementations are not required to do error
checking to detect aliasing, they are allowed to assume that aliasing
will not occur, and they are allowed to employ optimizations that work
only in the absence of aliasing.
There is no provision for binding standard vertex attributes;
therefore, it is not possible to alias generic attributes with standard
attributes.
glVertexAttribL versions are available only if the GL version is 4.1 or
higher.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if index is greater than or equal to
GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if glVertexAttribP is used with a type
other than GL_INT_10_10_10_2 or GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if glVertexAttribL is used with a type
other than GL_DOUBLE.

glGetActiveAttrib() with argument program and the index of an active
attribute variable
