OpenGL Primitives

https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Primitive

OpenGL can render the following types of primitives:

• Points GL_
• Lines
• Polylines
• Triangles
• Triangle strip
• Triangle fan

That means each kind of geo-data (Point cloud, Image, Features, etc.) has to be mapped into these primitives.
