+Vertex Elements
+===============
+
+This state controls format etc. of the input attributes contained
+in the pipe_vertex_buffer(s). There's one pipe_vertex_element array member
+for each input attribute.
+
+Members
+-------
+
+src_offset
+    The byte offset of the attribute in the buffer given by
+    vertex_buffer_index for the first vertex.
+instance_divisor
+    The instance data rate divisor, used for instancing.
+    0 means this is per-vertex data, n means per-instance data used for
+    n consecutive instances (n > 0).
+vertex_buffer_index
+    The vertex buffer this attribute lives in. Several attributes may
+    live in the same vertex buffer.
+src_format
+    The format of the attribute data. One of the PIPE_FORMAT tokens.
