    TBGL_GBufferDefineFromArray how without function overloading ?

    Petr, I was wondering how you handled different parameter values, like vec2f or vec3f and rgb or rgba in TBGL_GBufferDefineFromArray
    without function overloading?
    Thanks for any tips.

    Hi Kent,

    in TBGL_GBufferCreate you specify if buffer is 2D or 3D. Then the TBGL_GBufferDefineFromArray presumes 2f or 3f accordingly. I parse just pointer to whatever is passed there, so type does not matter.

    In pure thinBASIC, you can go polymorphic with passing parameter as UDT this way:
    uses "TBGL", "Console"
    
    
    dim arr2d(3) as tbgl_tVector2f
    dim arr3d(3) as tbgl_tVector3f
             
    TellMeWhatItIs(arr2d)
    TellMeWhatItIs(arr3d)
    
    
    waitkey
             
    function TellMeWhatItIs(byref x() as any)
    
    
      select case sizeOf(x(1))
        case sizeOf(tbgl_tVector2f)
          printl "It is 2D!"
          
        case sizeOf(tbgl_tVector3f)
          printl "It is 3D!"
          
        case else
          printl "I am dazed and confused"
          
      end select    
    
    
    end function
