            <function>glVertexAttribDivisor</function> modifies the rate at which generic vertex attributes advance when rendering
            multiple instances of primitives in a single draw call (see  <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArraysInstanced</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and
                         <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElementsInstanced</refentrytitle></citerefentry>). If <parameter>divisor</parameter> is zero, the attribute at slot
            <parameter>index</parameter> advances once per vertex. If <parameter>divisor</parameter> is non-zero, the attribute advances
            once per <parameter>divisor</parameter> instances of the set(s) of vertices being rendered.  An attribute
            is referred to as instanced if its <constant>GL_VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_DIVISOR</constant> value is non-zero.
