jeffg Senior Member Offline Posts: 472	Vertex or Line, which is faster? Mar 13th, 2009, 3:48pm   Is a vertex() faster than a line() in OpenGL?  Any benefit with choosing one over the other?

(I will be creating a great number of lines, so I want to make sure I get the best performance). Code:  beginShape();  vertex(100,0);  vertex(0,0);  endShape(); would be faster than... Code:  line(0, 0, 100, 0); Could someone explain why?
