<para>
<function>glDrawElementsInstancedBaseVertexBaseInstance</function> behaves identically to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElementsInstanced</refentrytitle></citerefentry> except that the <emphasis>i</emphasis>th element
transferred by the corresponding draw call will be taken from element <parameter>indices</parameter>[i] + <parameter>basevertex</parameter>
of each enabled array. If the resulting value is larger than the maximum value representable by <parameter>type</parameter>,
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 <parameter>basevertex</parameter> has no effect on the
shader-visible value of <constant>gl_VertexID</constant>.
</para>
<para>
Specific vertex attributes may be classified as <emphasis>instanced</emphasis> through the use of
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glVertexAttribDivisor</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. Instanced vertex attributes
supply per-instance vertex data to the vertex shader. The index of the vertex fetched from the enabled instanced vertex
attribute arrays is calculated as

<constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>mode</parameter> is not an accepted value.
