Struct glitter::buffer::Buffer

pub struct Buffer { /* fields omitted */ }

An OpenGL buffer object.

In OpenGL, a buffer is essentially untyped, and what data it can contain only depends on how it is used. A buffer can be used to store vertices, indices, or essentially any other data that the graphics device needs to process.

A buffer will automatically be deleted after going out of scope.
