Cube using single GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP

Question

Is it possible to draw a whole cube using just a single GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP?

Obviously it\'s just the cube combinatorics I\'m concerned about here, it might a

Answer 1

Yes, after a bit of experimenting I found the answer myself. Imagine the corners of your cube are colored alternatingly black and white. Draw a triangle edge along each face between the two black corners. That way, the diagonals form a tetrahedron inside the cube. For the [0,1]³ cube, a possible sequence of coordinates would be the following:

Vertex  Triangle    Face
------+-----------+-----
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0  000 010 100  **0
1 1 0  100 010 110  **0
