| 20 | <code class="function">glNormalPointer</code> specifies the location and data format of an array of normals | |
| 21 | to use when rendering. | |
| 22 | <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> specifies the data type of each normal coordinate, | |
| 23 | and <em class="parameter"><code>stride</code></em> specifies the byte stride from one | |
| 24 | normal to the next, allowing vertices and attributes | |
| 25 | to be packed into a single array or stored in separate arrays. | |
| 26 | (Single-array storage may be more efficient on some implementations; | |
| 27 | see <a class="citerefentry" href="glInterleavedArrays.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glInterleavedArrays</span></span></a>.) | |
| 28 | </p><p> | |
| 29 | If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the <code class="constant">GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</code> target | |
| 30 | (see <a class="citerefentry" href="glBindBuffer.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBindBuffer</span></span></a>) while a normal array is | |
| 31 | specified, <em class="parameter"><code>pointer</code></em> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store. | |
| 32 | Also, the buffer object binding (<code class="constant">GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</code>) is saved as normal vertex array | |
| 33 | client-side state (<code class="constant">GL_NORMAL_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</code>). | |
| 34 | </p><p> | |
| 35 | When a normal array is specified, | |
| 36 | <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>stride</code></em>, and <em class="parameter"><code>pointer</code></em> are saved as client-side | |
| 37 | state, in addition to the current vertex array buffer object binding. | |
| 38 | </p><p> | |
| 39 | To enable and disable the normal array, call | |
| 40 | <a class="citerefentry" href="glEnableClientState.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnableClientState</span></span></a> and <a class="citerefentry" href="glDisableClientState.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDisableClientState</span></span></a> with the argument | |
| 41 | <code class="constant">GL_NORMAL_ARRAY</code>. If | |
| 42 | enabled, the normal array is used | |
| 43 | when <a class="citerefentry" href="glDrawArrays.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDrawArrays</span></span></a>, <a class="citerefentry" href="glMultiDrawArrays.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glMultiDrawArrays</span></span></a>, <a class="citerefentry" href="glDrawElements.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDrawElements</span></span></a>, | |
