Packed Vertex Data Formats

[tanshilai]

We have the extension GL_ARB_2_10_10_10_REV,and the Packed Vertex Data Formats as follow:
The following figure describes how these components are laid out in a 32-bit word.
31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| w | z | y | x |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If <size> is BGRA, the components are instead laid out as in the following figure

question:I don't know the mean of "If <size> is BGRA, the components are instead laid out as in the following figure

" ,and what do the <size> mean, where is it used? thanks!

It means the same thing it means anywhere. The specs are all very consistent about this: names in <> refer to the parameters passed to the function (usually the last function mentioned in that section). In this case, glVertexAttribPointer.

The <size> parameter can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or GL_BGRA. Yes, I know it's a GLuint, but they allow this special enum for this special condition. BTW, you should pretty much ignore this feature unless you're doing interoperation with D3D; that's what it's for.
