glDrawRangeElementsBaseVertex

render primitives from array data with a per-element offset

Signature

glDrawRangeElementsBaseVertex( GLenum ( mode ) , GLuint ( start ) , GLuint ( end ) , GLsizei ( count ) , GLenum ( type ) , void *( indices ) , GLint ( basevertex ) )-> void
glDrawRangeElementsBaseVertex( mode , start , end , count , type , indices , basevertex )

Parameters

VariablesDescription
mode
Specifies what kind of primitives to render. Symbolic constants GL_POINTS , GL_LINE_STRIP , GL_LINE_LOOP , GL_LINES , GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP , GL_TRIANGLE_FAN , GL_TRIANGLES , GL_LINES_ADJACENCY , GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY , GL_TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY , GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY and GL_PATCHES are accepted.
start
Specifies the minimum array index contained in indices .
end
Specifies the maximum array index contained in indices .
count
Specifies the number of elements to be rendered.
type
Specifies the type of the values in indices. Must be one of GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE , GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT , or GL_UNSIGNED_INT .
indices
Specifies a pointer to the location where the indices are stored.
basevertex
Specifies a constant that should be added to each element of indices when chosing elements from the enabled vertex arrays.

Description

glDrawRangeElementsBaseVertex is a restricted form of glDrawElementsBaseVertex . mode , count and basevertex match the corresponding arguments to glDrawElementsBaseVertex , with the additional constraint that all values in the array indices must lie between start and end , inclusive, prior to adding basevertex . Index values lying outside the range [ start , end ] are treated in the same way as glDrawElementsBaseVertex . The i th element transferred by the corresponding draw call will be taken from element indices [i] + basevertex of each enabled array. If the resulting value is larger than the maximum value representable by type , it is as if the calculation were upconverted to 32-bit unsigned integers (with wrapping on overflow conditions). The operation is undefined if the sum would be negative.

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if count is negative.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if end < start .
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a geometry shader is active and mode is incompatible with the input primitive type of the geometry shader in the currently installed program object.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to an enabled array or the element array and the buffer object's data store is currently mapped.
