# SDL\_GPUVertexAttribute(3type)

A structure specifying a vertex attribute.

## NAME

SDL\_GPUVertexAttribute - A structure specifying a vertex attribute.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3/SDL\_gpu.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
```

**typedef struct SDL\_GPUVertexAttribute** **{**     **Uint32 location;                    /\*\*\< The shader input location index. \*/**     **Uint32 buffer\_slot;                 /\*\*\< The binding slot of the associated vertex buffer. \*/**     **SDL\_GPUVertexElementFormat format;  /\*\*\< The size and type of the attribute data. \*/**     **Uint32 offset;                      /\*\*\< The byte offset of this attribute relative to the start of the vertex element. \*/** **} SDL\_GPUVertexAttribute;**

## DESCRIPTION

All vertex attribute locations provided to an

**SDL\_GPUVertexInputState**\
  must be unique.

## AVAILABILITY

This struct is available since SDL 3.2.0.
