I dont get it. Why when in OpenGL you load in the vertices as the following, in figure 1. You get a triangle? But for Figure 2, you get a sort of rotate triangle where the top point of the triangle is pointing to the left-direction. How come OpenGL interprets the data quite differently?

Question

I dont get it. Why when in OpenGL you load in the vertices as the following, in figure 1. You get a triangle? But for Figure 2, you get a sort of rotate triangle where the top point of the triangle is pointing to the left-direction. How come OpenGL interprets the data quite differently? And how are they different?

Figure #1
float vertices[] = {
        -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f,
        0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f,
        0.0f,  0.5f, 0.0f
  };

Figure #2
float vertices[] = {
        -0.5f, -0.5f,
        0.5f, -0.5f,
        0.0f,  0.5f,
    };
