Parameters
- type
- Type: OooglesglPrimitiveType
specifies what kind of primitives to render. - count
- Type: SystemInt32
the number of elements to be rendered.

GLException | InvalidValue if count is negative. |
GLException | InvalidFramebufferOperation if the currently bound framebuffer is not framebuffer complete. |
Remarks
DrawArrays specifies multiple geometric primitives with very few subroutine calls.
Instead of calling a GL procedure to pass each individual vertex attribute,
you can use
VertexAttribute to prespecify separate arrays of vertices, normals,
and colors and use them to construct a sequence of primitives with a single call to DrawArrays.
When DrawArrays is called, it uses count sequential elements from each enabled array
to construct a sequence of geometric primitives, beginning with the first element.
type specifies what kind of primitives are constructed and how the array elements construct those primitives.
To enable and disable generic vertex attribute array, call Enable and Disable.
Note: if the current program object, as set by Use, is invalid, rendering results are undefined.
However, no error is generated for this case.
