OpenGL Programming/reference/glBegin

Description Defines a list of points to make in to primitives. The type of primitive is passed when you call it. Useage Context Allowed Primitive Types [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_POINTS Each vertex is a single point [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_LINES Must be a multiple of 2 Each pair of vertices is a independent line segment. [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_LINE_STRIP Draws a connected group of line segments from the first vertex to the last. After the first Vertices each additional Vertices draws a new line. [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_LINE_LOOP Draws a connected group of line segments from the first vertex to the last. The last line is defined by the first and last vertex makeing a closed loop. [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_TRIANGLES Each triplet of vertices as an independent triangle. Must be a multiple of 3 [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP Draws a connected group of triangles. After the first 2 vertices each additional point defines a new triangle. The triangle is made up of the last 2 and the newest vertex moving down the list. [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_TRIANGLE_FAN Draws a connected group of triangles. After the first 2 vertices each additional point defines a new triangle. The triangle is made up of the first the last and the newest vertex moving down the list. [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_QUADS Each group of four vertices as an independent quadriliteral. Must be a multiple of 4 [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_QUAD_STRIP Draws a connected group of quadriliterals. After the first 2 Vertices each additional pair Vertices makes a new quadriliteral. Must be a multiple of 2 after the first 2 Vertices. [[OpenGL_Programming/reference/GL_POLYGON Draws a single polygon. same as GL_LINE_STRIP Must have 3 or more Vertices.
