To do this, you bracket each set of vertices between a call to glbegin and a call to glend. I would like to draw some points, but the problem is that they turn out to be squares, and i would like them to be round dots filled circles. Now that youve seen how to specify vertices, you still need to know how to tell opengl to create a set of points, a line, or a polygon from those vertices. Note that the glflush call is made after all 00 points have been drawn, not after.
This is done in the method void createanddrawgrid opengl gl first of all we need to figure out the vertices to be drawn which just consists of 8 points to give 4 lines to split the figure into 3 equal regions.

While refreshing my mind on opengl es, i came across gldrawarrays and gldrawelements i understand how they are used and sort of understand why they are different. So the difference between a point x, y, z and a vector x, y, z is that where the point is just a point in space, the vector has its magnitude distance from origin 0, 0, 0.
