A great use of texturing engines

Anyone doing 2d graphics using OpenGL or Direct3d?

Did you realize you can render a quad using a single triangle if you leave enough transparent space in your texture?

Your mind is now blown!

no you can't, I will explain why:

there's 6 parameters for the triangle with texture, but you need 8 parameters for an arbitrary quad.
