class IIndexAttribute;

The IIndexAttribute interface is the common interface implemented by all index attribute types. Applications normally create IndexAttribute, RawIndexAttribute, or ReadOnlyIndexAttribute objects and pass them to buffer and renderable node APIs through this interface.

An index attribute describes the integer index stream used for indexed drawing. The attribute must be bound to an IIndexBuffer before it can be bound to an IRenderableNode.
