Detailed Description
Provides a data store for raw data to later be used as vertices or uniforms.
Data can either be provided directly using QBuffer::setData() or by specifying a generator with QBuffer::setDataGenerator() and providing a Qt3DRender::QBufferDataGeneratorPtr.
When using a generator the data will be loaded asynchronously in a job. The loaded data can be read back if the QBuffer::syncData flag is set to true.

Property Documentation
syncData : bool
Holds the syncData flag. When syncData is true, this will force data created by a Qt3DRender::QBufferDataGenerator to also be updated on the frontend Qt3DRender::QBuffer node. By default syncData is false.
Note: : This has no effect if the buffer's data was set directly using the data property.
Access functions:
| bool | isSyncData() const | 
| void | setSyncData(bool syncData) | 
Notifier signal:
| void | syncDataChanged(bool syncData) | 
type : BufferType
Holds the buffer type.
Access functions:
| BufferType | type() const | 
| void | setType(BufferType type) | 
Notifier signal:
| void | typeChanged(BufferType type) | 
usage : UsageType
Holds the buffer usage.
Access functions:
| UsageType | usage() const | 
| void | setUsage(UsageType usage) | 
Notifier signal:
| void | usageChanged(UsageType usage) |
