<h2>Description</h2>

<p>

<code class="function">glBindVertexArray</code> binds the vertex array object with name <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em>. <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em>

is the name of a vertex array object previously returned from a call to <a class="citerefentry" href="glGenVertexArrays"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenVertexArrays</span></span></a>,

or zero to bind the default vertex array object binding.

</p>

<p>

If no vertex array object with name <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em> exists, one is created when <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em> is first bound. If the bind

is successful no change is made to the state of the vertex array object, and any previous vertex array object binding is broken.

</p>

<div class="refsect1" id="errors">

<h2>Errors</h2>

<p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em> is not zero or the name of a vertex array object

previously returned from a call to <a class="citerefentry" href="glGenVertexArrays"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenVertexArrays</span></span></a>.
