How a Mesh's vertices are used when drawing.

Constants

fan

The vertices create a "fan" shape with the first vertex acting as the hub point. Can be easily used to draw simple convex polygons.

strip

The vertices create a series of connected triangles using vertices v1, v2, v3, then v3, v2, v4 (note the order), then v3, v4, v5 and so on.

triangles

The vertices create unconnected triangles.

points

The vertices are drawn as unconnected points (see love.graphics.setPointSize.)

Notes

If the Mesh has a custom vertex map, then that will determine the order in which the vertices are interpreted by the draw mode.

The vertex map can also be used to make the draw mode reuse vertices, for example if the Mesh has 4 vertices and is using the "triangles" draw mode, the vertex map could be set to {1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4} to draw 2 triangles using only 4 vertices, effectively drawing a quad using triangles.
