[PyOpenGL-Users] size limit of vertex array?

[Roland E. <r.e...@gm...>]

Hello,


I would like to know if there is supposed to be a limit in the number of 
elements in a list given to glVertexPointer()?

I am using a vertex array to create a plane composed of small squares, 
after some experiment, it seems the vertex array cannot contains more 
than 64 squares whatever the size of the squares.

I have not tried to optimize the number of vertices I need to draw the 
plane, so for each square there is 4 vertices in the array. Thus the 
total number of elements in the list considered by opengl is 64 * 4 * 3, 
even if there is more than 64 squares defined in the array.


I know there is surely better way to draw such object, but this is not 
what I was interested in. I am currently playing with lighting and I 
wanted to study how to handle normal vectors, and how the color of the 
material is affected by the light and the normals.


Regards,



Roland.
