NAME¶
glDrawArraysInstanced - draw multiple instances of a range of elementsC SPECIFICATION¶
void glDrawArraysInstanced(GLenum mode,
GLint first, GLsizei count,
GLsizei primcount);
PARAMETERS¶
modeSpecifies 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.
first
Specifies the starting index in the enabled arrays.
count
Specifies the number of indices to be rendered.
primcount
Specifies the number of instances of the specified range
of indices to be rendered.
DESCRIPTION¶
glDrawArraysInstanced behaves identically to glDrawArrays() except that primcount instances of the range of elements are executed and the value of the internal counter instanceID advances for each iteration. instanceID is an internal 32-bit integer counter that may be read by a vertex shader as gl_InstanceID. glDrawArraysInstanced has the same effect as:if ( mode or count is invalid ) generate appropriate error else { for (int i = 0; i < primcount ; i++) { instanceID = i; glDrawArrays(mode, first, count); } instanceID = 0; }
ERRORS¶
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not one of the accepted values. 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_VALUE is generated if count or primcount are negative. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to an enabled array and the buffer object's data store is currently mapped.VERSION SUPPORT¶
