                GLfloat y,
                GLfloat z,
                GLfloat w)
void glVertex4i(GLint x,
                GLint y,
                GLint z,
                GLint w)
void glVertex4s(GLshort x,
                GLshort y,
                GLshort z,
                GLshort w)

PARAMETERS

x, y, z, w
Specify x, y, z, and w coordinates of a vertex. Not all parameters are present in all forms of the command.

C SPECIFICATION

void glVertex2dv(const GLdouble *v)
void glVertex2fv(const GLfloat *v)
void glVertex2iv(const GLint *v)
void glVertex2sv(const GLshort *v)
void glVertex3dv(const GLdouble *v)
void glVertex3fv(const GLfloat *v)
void glVertex3iv(const GLint *v)
void glVertex3sv(const GLshort *v)
void glVertex4dv(const GLdouble *v)
void glVertex4fv(const GLfloat *v)
void glVertex4iv(const GLint *v)
void glVertex4sv(const GLshort *v)

PARAMETERS

v
Specifies a pointer to an array of two, three, or four elements. The elements of a two-element array are x and y; of a three-element array, x, y, and z; and of a four-element array, x, y, z, and w.

DESCRIPTION

glVertex commands are used within glBegin / glEnd pairs to specify point, line, and polygon vertices. The current color, normal, and texture coordinates are associated with the vertex when glVertex is called.

When only x and y are specified, z defaults to 0.0 and w defaults to 1.0. When x, y, and z are specified, w defaults to 1.0.

NOTES

Invoking glVertex outside of a glBegin / glEnd pair results in undefined behavior.
