28 <code class=
"function">glColorPointer
</code> specifies the location and data format of an array of color components
29 to use when rendering.
30 <em class=
"parameter"><code>size
</code></em> specifies the number of components per color, and must be
3 or
4.
31 <em class=
"parameter"><code>type
</code></em> specifies the data type of each color component, and
<em class=
"parameter"><code>stride
</code></em>
32 specifies the byte stride from one color to the next, allowing vertices and
33 attributes to be packed into a single array or stored in separate arrays.
34 (Single-array storage may be more efficient on some implementations;
35 see
<a class=
"citerefentry" href=
"glInterleavedArrays.xml"><span class=
"citerefentry"><span class=
"refentrytitle">glInterleavedArrays
</span></span></a>.)
37 If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the
<code class=
"constant">GL_ARRAY_BUFFER
</code> target
38 (see
<a class=
"citerefentry" href=
"glBindBuffer.xml"><span class=
"citerefentry"><span class=
"refentrytitle">glBindBuffer
</span></span></a>) while a color array is
39 specified,
<em class=
"parameter"><code>pointer
</code></em> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
40 Also, the buffer object binding (
<code class=
"constant">GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING
</code>) is saved as color vertex array
41 client-side state (
<code class=
"constant">GL_COLOR_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING
</code>).
43 When a color array is specified,
44 <em class=
"parameter"><code>size
</code></em>,
<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
45 state, in addition to the current vertex array buffer object binding.
47 To enable and disable the color array, call
48 <a class=
