<para>

When <function>glDrawRangeElements</function> is called, it uses <parameter>count</parameter> sequential elements from an
|
|
enabled array, starting at <parameter>start</parameter> to construct a sequence of
|
|
geometric primitives. <parameter>mode</parameter> 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. If
|
|
<constant>GL_VERTEX_ARRAY</constant> is not enabled, no geometric primitives are
|
|
constructed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Vertex attributes that are modified by <function>glDrawRangeElements</function> have an
|
|
unspecified value after <function>glDrawRangeElements</function> returns. For example, if
|
|
<constant>GL_COLOR_ARRAY</constant> is enabled, the value of the current color is
|
|
undefined after <function>glDrawRangeElements</function> executes. Attributes that aren't
|
|
modified maintain their previous values.

<para>

<function>glDrawRangeElements</function> is included in display lists. If <function>glDrawRangeElements</function> is entered into a
|
|
display list,
|
|
the necessary array data (determined by the array pointers and
|
|
enables) is also
|
|
entered into the display list. Because the array pointers and
|
|
enables are client-side state, their values affect display lists
|
|
when the lists are created, not when the lists are executed.
