<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>stride</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies the byte offset between consecutive edge flags.
If <parameter>stride</parameter> is 0, the edge flags are understood
to be tightly packed in the array. The initial value is 0.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>pointer</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies a pointer to the first edge flag in the array. The initial
value is 0.
</para>
</listitem>

</variablelist>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="description"><title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>glEdgeFlagPointer</function> specifies the location and data format of an array of boolean edge
flags to use when rendering. <parameter>stride</parameter> specifies the byte stride from one
edge flag to the next, allowing vertices and attributes
to be packed into a single array or stored in separate arrays.
</para>
<para>
If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant> target
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>) while an edge flag array is
specified, <parameter>pointer</parameter> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
Also, the buffer object binding (<constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant>) is saved as edge flag vertex array
client-side state (<constant>GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant>).
</para>
<para>
When an edge flag array is
specified, <parameter>stride</parameter> and <parameter>pointer</parameter> are saved as client-side
state, in addition to the current vertex array buffer object binding.
</para>
<para>
To enable and disable the edge flag array, call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnableClientState</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisableClientState</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with the argument
<constant>GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY</constant>. If
enabled, the edge flag array is used
when <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, or
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glArrayElement</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is called.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
<function>glEdgeFlagPointer</function> is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
</para>
<para>
Edge flags are not supported for interleaved vertex array formats
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glInterleavedArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
</para>
<para>
The edge flag array is initially disabled and isn't accessed when
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glArrayElement</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
is called.
</para>
<para>
Execution of <function>glEdgeFlagPointer</function> is not allowed between the execution of
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBegin</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and the corresponding execution of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
but an error may or may not be generated. If no error is generated,
the operation is undefined.
</para>
<para>
<function>glEdgeFlagPointer</function> is typically implemented on the client side.
</para>
<para>
Edge flag array parameters are client-side state and are therefore
not saved or restored by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPopAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushClientAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPopClientAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> instead.
