<code class="function">glMultiDrawArrays</code> specifies multiple sets of 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 <code class="function">glMultiDrawArrays</code>.
</p><p>
<code class="function">glMultiDrawArrays</code> behaves identically to <a class="citerefentry" href="glDrawArrays.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDrawArrays</span></span></a> except that <em class="parameter"><code>drawcount</code></em>
separate ranges of elements are specified instead.
</p><p>
When <code class="function">glMultiDrawArrays</code> is called, it uses <em class="parameter"><code>count</code></em> sequential elements from each
enabled array to construct a sequence of geometric primitives,
beginning with element <em class="parameter"><code>first</code></em>. <em class="parameter"><code>mode</code></em> specifies what kind of
primitives are constructed, and how the array elements
construct those primitives.
</p><p>
Vertex attributes that are modified by <code class="function">glMultiDrawArrays</code> have an
unspecified value after <code class="function">glMultiDrawArrays</code> returns. Attributes that aren't
modified remain well defined.
</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>
<code class="constant">GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY</code>,
<code class="constant">GL_LINES_ADJACENCY</code>,
<code class="constant">GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY</code> and
<code class="constant">GL_TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY</code>
are available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater.
</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="errors"></a><h2>Errors</h2><p>
<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_ENUM</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>mode</code></em> is not an accepted value.
</p><p>
<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>drawcount</code></em> is negative.
</p><p>
<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> 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.
