--- layout: stdlib-reference --- # GetAttributeAtVertex ## Description Get the value of a vertex attribute at a specific vertex. The GetAttributeAtVertex() function can be used in a fragment shader to get the value of the given attribute at the vertex of the primitive that corresponds to the given vertexIndex. Note that the attribute must have been a declared varying input to the fragment shader with the nointerpolation modifier. This function can be applied to scalars, vectors, and matrices of built-in scalar types. ## Signature

T GetAttributeAtVertex<T>(
    T attribute,
    uint vertexIndex)
    where T : __BuiltinType;

vector<T, N> GetAttributeAtVertex<T, int N>(
    vector<T, N> attribute,
    uint vertexIndex)
    where T : __BuiltinType;

matrix<T, N, M> GetAttributeAtVertex<T, int N, int M>(
    matrix<T, N, M> attribute,
    uint vertexIndex)
    where T : __BuiltinType;
