Uniform Types

Currently supported uniform types are listed in the UniformType enumeration:

• Float
• Int
• Vector2f
• Vector3f
• Color

NOTE: The color uniform type maps to a vec4 type in the GL shading language. The use of Color here is due to lack of a Vector4 type in the used python math library (euclid).
