NAME
       glDrawRangeElements - render primitives from array data


C SPECIFICATION
       void glDrawRangeElements(GLenum mode, GLuint start, GLuint end, GLsizei count, GLenum type,
                                const GLvoid * indices);


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.

       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.


DESCRIPTION
       glDrawRangeElements is a restricted form of glDrawElements().  mode, start, end, and count match the
       corresponding arguments to glDrawElements(), with the additional constraint that all values in the arrays
       count must lie between start and end, inclusive.

       Implementations denote recommended maximum amounts of vertex and index data, which may be queried by
       calling glGet() with argument GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES and GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_INDICES. If end - start + 1 is
       greater than the value of GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES, or if count is greater than the value of
       GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_INDICES, then the call may operate at reduced performance. There is no requirement that
       all vertices in the range start end be referenced. However, the implementation may partially process
       unused vertices, reducing performance from what could be achieved with an optimal index set.

       When glDrawRangeElements is called, it uses count sequential elements from an enabled array, starting at
       start to construct a sequence of geometric primitives.  mode specifies what kind of primitives are
       constructed, and how the array elements construct these primitives. If more than one array is enabled,
       each is used.

       Vertex attributes that are modified by glDrawRangeElements have an unspecified value after
       glDrawRangeElements returns. Attributes that aren't modified maintain their previous values.


NOTES
       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
       It is an error for indices to lie outside the range start end, but implementations may not check for this
       situation. Such indices cause implementation-dependent behavior.

       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.
