glDrawElementsBaseVertex: render primitives from array data with a per-element offset

Function Definition

 void glDrawElementsBaseVertex(GLenum mode​, GLsizei count​, GLenum type​, GLvoid *indices​, GLint basevertex​);
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.
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 byte offset (cast to a pointer type) into the buffer bound to GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER to start reading indices from.
basevertex
Specifies a constant that should be added to each element of indices​ when chosing elements from the enabled vertex arrays.

Description

glDrawElementsBaseVertex behaves identically to glDrawElements except that each index fetched from GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER (starting from the byte offset indices​ in bytesbytes) will have basevertex​ added to it before fetching that index from the vertex arrays. If the resulting index 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.

The gl_VertexID passed to the Vertex Shader will be the index after being offset by basevertex​, not the index fetched from the buffer.

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode​ is not an accepted value.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if count​ is negative.

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.
