12 A single vertex attribute. Commonly used attributes are named by their
13 semantical meaning in the standard shaders. Texture coordinates and generic
14 attributes can additionally be given an index. There are four texture
15 coordinate attributes available. The number of available generic attributes
16 depends on implementation limits, but is at least five.
18 RAW_ATTRIB is handled in a special way; creating an indexed attribute based on
19 it uses the index as raw attribute number. Only use it if you know what you
22 The values are bitfields laid as follows:
25 │ │ │ │ │ └╴Number of components
26 │ │ │ │ └───╴Integer attribute flag
27 │ │ │ └─────╴Size of one component
28 │ │ └────────╴Signed flag
29 │ └──────────╴Floating-point flag
30 └────────────╴Attribute index (semantic)
