ALLEGRO_PRIM_ATTR \- Allegro 5 API

typedef\ enum\ ALLEGRO_PRIM_ATTR

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Enumerates the types of vertex attributes that a custom vertex may have.
.IP \[bu] 2
ALLEGRO_PRIM_POSITION \- Position information, can be stored only in
ALLEGRO_PRIM_SHORT_2, ALLEGRO_PRIM_FLOAT_2 and ALLEGRO_PRIM_FLOAT_3.
.IP \[bu] 2
ALLEGRO_PRIM_COLOR_ATTR \- Color information, stored in an
ALLEGRO_COLOR(3alleg5).
The storage field of ALLEGRO_VERTEX_ELEMENT is ignored
.IP \[bu] 2
ALLEGRO_PRIM_TEX_COORD \- Texture coordinate information, can be stored
only in ALLEGRO_PRIM_FLOAT_2 and ALLEGRO_PRIM_SHORT_2.
These coordinates are normalized by the width and height of the texture,
meaning that the bottom\-right corner has texture coordinates of (1, 1).
.IP \[bu] 2
ALLEGRO_PRIM_TEX_COORD_PIXEL \- Texture coordinate information, can be
stored only in ALLEGRO_PRIM_FLOAT_2 and ALLEGRO_PRIM_SHORT_2.
These coordinates are measured in pixels.
.IP \[bu] 2
ALLEGRO_PRIM_USER_ATTR \- A user specified attribute.
You can use any storage for this attribute.
You may have at most ALLEGRO_PRIM_MAX_USER_ATTR (currently 10) of these
that you can specify by adding an index to the value of
ALLEGRO_PRIM_USER_ATTR, e.g.\ the first user attribute is
\f[C]ALLEGRO_PRIM_USER_ATTR\ +\ 0\f[], the second is
\f[C]ALLEGRO_PRIM_USER_ATTR\ +\ 1\f[] and so on.

.PP
To access these custom attributes from GLSL shaders you need to declare
attributes that follow this nomenclature: \f[C]user_attr_#\f[] where #
is the index of the attribute.
.PP
To access these custom attributes from HLSL you need to declare a
parameter with the following semantics: \f[C]TEXCOORD{#\ +\ 2}\f[] where
# is the index of the attribute.
E.g.
the first attribute can be accessed via \f[C]TEXCOORD2\f[], second via
\f[C]TEXCOORD3\f[] and so on.
