Vertexbuffer Graphicsdevice Graphicsdevice Sizeinbytes Bufferusage Usage

The document discusses vertex buffers and index buffers in drawing primitives to the screen. It explains that a vertex buffer stores the vertex data and a draw call specifies the primitive count, while an index buffer stores indices that reference vertices in the vertex buffer to draw different geometric shapes. For example, it shows how to draw a quad using two triangles indexed by two sets of three indices in the index buffer that reference the four vertices in the vertex buffer.

// Imagine You want to draw the following quad on Your screen:

v1

(x,y) plane

*/

//first triangle indexed by [0][2][1] is v0,v2,v1


//{0,0,0}{0,1,0}{1,0,0} corresponds to drawing (0,0)(0,1)(1,0)

//second triangle indexed by [2][1][3] is v2,v1,v3


//{0,1,0}{1,0,0}{1,1,0} corresponds to drawing (0,1)(1,0)(1,1)
