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:
“Southerners, whose ancestors a hundred years ago knew the horrors of a homeland devastated by war, are particularly determined that war shall never come to us again. All Americans understand the basic lessons of history: that we need to be resolute and able to protect ourselves, to prevent threats and domination by others.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
