Data types and vertex arrays
Author
right now i am trying to optimize my program by adding vertex arrays. i am having a little problem right now with it. whenever i define the vertex array and put GL_FLOAT as the datatype it gives an error. the vertex array is defined as
vector vertex;
whenever i define vertex as GL_FLOAT the vector class doesnt know what to do with it. any ideas of what i can do to fix it?
heres my code:
Define your vertex array of type

GLfloat . GL_FLOAT is just a define to tell the function that the array is of type (GL)float so that it knows how to handle the bits and bytes of the array. [edited by - baumep on May 26, 2004 2:39:41 PM]
I don''t know if you can directly use stl vector as input. Try something like &vertex[0]
And don''t use capacity(). Use size(). (capacity >= size)
You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.

i tried the GLfloat thing and i still get the same error...

I think vertex array fucntion take only arrays of data as input. You can''t use a vector. Its an abstract data type. While an array is just a package of data of a certain type thats all in the same place in memory
