TLspPrimitiveType (LuciadLightspeed API documentation)

java.lang.Object
- com.luciad.view.lightspeed.services.vertexarray.TLspPrimitiveType

```
public class TLspPrimitiveType
extends Object
```
Represents the type of primitives used in a vertex array. This class is used to indicate how vertex array data is to be interpreted during rendering.
For example, if the primitive type of a vertex array would be POINTS, then all the vertices in that vertex array would be rendered as points. If the primitive type were TRIANGLES however, then every three consecutive vertices in the vertex array would be drawn as a triangle.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`LINE_LOOP` The same as line strip, except that the final and first vertex are also connected by a line segment.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`LINE_STRIP` A connected line.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`LINES` A series of unconnected line segments.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`POINTS` One point at each vertex.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`POLYGON` An arbitrary polygon.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`QUAD_STRIP` A series of connected quadrilaterals.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`QUADS` A series of quadrilaterals (four-sided polygons).
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`TRIANGLE_FAN` The same as triangle strip except that the first vertex is shared by each triangle.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`TRIANGLE_STRIP` A series of connected triangles.
`static TLspPrimitiveType`	`TRIANGLES` A series of triangles.
