## Detailed Description

Records the state of all the vertex buffer bindings required to provide a vertex declaration with the input data it needs for the vertex elements.

Remarks:
  Why do we have this binding list rather than just have VertexElement referring to the vertex buffers direct? Well, in the underlying APIs, binding the vertex buffers to an index (or 'stream') is the way that vertex data is linked, so this structure better reflects the realities of that. In addition, by separating the vertex declaration from the list of vertex buffer bindings, it becomes possible to reuse bindings between declarations and vice versa, giving opportunities to reduce the state changes required to perform rendering.

  Like the other classes in this functional area, these binding maps should be created and destroyed using the HardwareBufferManager.

virtual unsigned short Ogre::VertexBufferBinding::getNextIndex | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Gets the highest index which has already been set, plus 1.

Remarks:
  This is to assist in binding the vertex buffers such that there are not gaps in the list.

void Ogre::VertexBufferBinding::setBinding | ( | unsigned short | index,
|  | HardwareVertexBufferSharedPtr | buffer
| ) | `[virtual]`

Set a binding, associating a vertex buffer with a given index.

Remarks:
  If the index is already associated with a vertex buffer, the association will be replaced. This may cause the old buffer to be destroyed if nothing else is referring to it. You should assign bindings from 0 and not leave gaps, although you can bind them in any order.
