glMultiDrawElementsBaseVertex
3G
glMultiDrawElementsBaseVertex
render multiple sets of primitives by specifying indices of array data elements and an index to apply to each index
C Specification
void glMultiDrawElementsBaseVertex
GLenum mode
const GLsizei *count
GLenum type
const GLvoid **indices
GLsizei primcount
GLint *basevertex
Parameters
mode
Specifies what kind of primitives to render.
Symbolic constants
GL_POINTS,
GL_LINE_STRIP,
GL_LINE_LOOP,
GL_LINES,
GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY,
GL_LINES_ADJACENCY,
GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP,
GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,
GL_TRIANGLES,
GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY,
GL_TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY and GL_PATCHES
are accepted.
count
Points to an array of the elements counts.
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.
primcount
Specifies the size of the count array.
basevertex
Specifies a pointer to the location where the base vertices are stored.
Description
glMultiDrawElementsBaseVertex behaves identically to glDrawElementsBaseVertex,
except that primcount separate lists of elements are specifried instead.
It has the same effect as:
for (int i = 0; i < primcount; i++)
if (count[i] > 0)
glDrawElementsBaseVertex(mode,
count[i],
type,
indices[i],
basevertex[i]);
Notes
glMultiDrawElementsBaseVertex is available only if the GL version is 3.1 or greater.
GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY,
GL_LINES_ADJACENCY,
GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY and
GL_TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY
are available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater.
Errors
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if primcount is negative.
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.
