Presenting Vertex Data to the Vertex Processor

Vertex data can be presented to the vertex processor using one of the following formats.

Note  The vertex data format that you choose is independent of and orthogonal to the vertex processing method used (fixed function vs. programmable) For example, you can use streams with fixed function transformation and lighting pipelines and you can use FVF vertices with programmable vertex shaders.
