Basic VBO Functions
The following functions form the core of VBO access and manipulation:
- In OpenGL 2.1:
- GenBuffersARB(sizei n, uint *buffers)
- Generates a new VBO and returns its ID number as an unsigned integer. Id 0 is reserved.
-
- BindBufferARB(enum target, uint buffer)
- Use a previously created buffer as the active VBO.
-
- BufferDataARB(enum target, sizeiptrARB size, const void *data, enum usage)
- Upload data to the active VBO.
-
- DeleteBuffersARB(sizei n, const uint *buffers)
- Deletes the specified number of VBOs from the supplied array or VBO id.
- In OpenGL 3.x and OpenGL 4.x:
- GenBuffers(sizei n, uint *buffers)
- Generates a new VBO and returns its ID number as an unsigned integer. Id 0 is reserved.
-
- BindBuffer(enum target, uint buffer)
- Use a previously created buffer as the active VBO.
-
- BufferData(enum target, sizeiptrARB size, const void *data, enum usage)
- Upload data to the active VBO.
-
- DeleteBuffers(sizei n, const uint *buffers)
- Deletes the specified number of VBOs from the supplied array or VBO id.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or functions:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
The outward functions of intelligent man.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
