<para>
|
|
<function>glDrawArrays</function> specifies multiple geometric primitives
|
|
with very few subroutine calls. Instead of calling a GL procedure
|
|
to pass each individual vertex, normal, texture coordinate, edge
|
|
flag, or color, you can prespecify
|
|
separate arrays of vertices, normals, and colors and use them to
|
|
construct a sequence of primitives with a single
|
|
call to <function>glDrawArrays</function>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When <function>glDrawArrays</function> is called, it uses <parameter>count</parameter> sequential elements from each
|
|
enabled array to construct a sequence of geometric primitives,
|
|
beginning with element <parameter>first</parameter>. <parameter>mode</parameter> specifies what kind of
|
|
primitives are constructed and how the array elements
|
|
construct those primitives. If <constant>GL_VERTEX_ARRAY</constant> is not enabled, no
|
|
geometric primitives are generated.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Vertex attributes that are modified by <function>glDrawArrays</function> have an
|
|
unspecified value after <function>glDrawArrays</function> returns. For example, if
|
|
<constant>GL_COLOR_ARRAY</constant> is enabled, the value of the current color is
|
|
undefined after <function>glDrawArrays</function> executes. Attributes that aren't
|
|
modified remain well defined.

<para>
|
|
<function>glDrawArrays</function> is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>glDrawArrays</function> is included in display lists. If <function>glDrawArrays</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.
