        <para>
            <function>glDrawTransformFeedback</function> draws primitives of a type specified by <parameter>mode</parameter> using
            a count retrieved from the transform feedback specified by <parameter>id</parameter>. Calling <function>glDrawTransformFeedback</function>
            is equivalent to calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>mode</parameter>
            as specified, <parameter>first</parameter> set to zero, and <parameter>count</parameter> set to the number of vertices captured
            on vertex stream zero the last time transform feedback was active on the transform feedback object named by <parameter>id</parameter>.

        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to an

        </para>
        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if a geometry shader is active and <parameter>mode</parameter>
            is incompatible with the input primitive type of the geometry shader in the currently installed program object.
        </para>
        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <parameter>mode</parameter> is <constant>GL_PATCHES</constant>
            and no tessellation control shader is active.

        <para>
            <constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> is generated if <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEndTransformFeedback</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
