## Detailed Description

Wraps the OpenGL function glDrawArrays(), see also http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glDrawArrays.xml for more information.

DrawArrays and DrawElements are used by Geometry to define a set of primitives to be rendered (Geometry::primitives()). DrawArrays and DrawElements supports all the OpenGL primitive types. Geometry multi instancing is also supported, see the functions setInstances() and instances().
