Rendering in modern OpenGL is usually done using:

glDrawArrays (GLenum mode, GLint first, GLsizei count);

The vertices comprising the primitive are stored in buffer on the GPU.

GLenum mode is the primitive type, one of

• GL_POINTS
• GL_LINES
• GL_LINE_STRIP
• GL_LINE_LOOP
• GL_TRIANGLES
• GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP
• GL_TRIANGLE_FAN

GLint first is the index to the first element to be rendered

GLsizei count is the number of elements to be rendered
