  14             or <code class="constant">GL_PATCH_DEFAULT_INNER_LEVEL</code>. For <code class="function">glPatchParameteri</code>, <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em> specifies

  20             shader (if present) and subsequently used for tessellation. When primitives are specified using

  22             from <em class="parameter"><code>parameter</code></em> control points, each represented by a vertex taken from the enabeld vertex arrays.
  23             <em class="parameter"><code>parameter</code></em> must be greater than zero, and less than or equal to the value of <code class="constant">GL_MAX_PATCH_VERTICES</code>.
