<refsect1 id="description"><title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>glDrawElementsBaseVertex</function> behaves identically to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</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.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<function>glDrawElementsBaseVertex</function> is only supported if the GL version is 3.2 or greater, or if
the <code>ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex</code> extension is supported.
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="errors"><title>Errors</title>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>mode</parameter> is not an accepted value.
</para>
<para>
<constant>GL_INVALID_VALUE</constant> is generated if <parameter>count</parameter> is negative.
</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 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.
