Vertex Data

Vertex data is presented to the pipeline in the form of object primitives. The following topics discuss three-dimensional (3-D) coordinates, how coordinates make up vertex data for an object, and how the vertex data declaration determines how the pipeline functions.

• 3-D Coordinate Systems and Geometry
• Fixed Function Vertex and Pixel Processing
• Programmable Vertex and Pixel Processing
• Programmable Stream Model
• Device-Supported Primitive Types
