NAME

glGenLists -- generate a contiguous set of empty display lists

C SPECIFICATION

GLuint glGenLists(GLsizei range)

PARAMETERS

range
Specifies the number of contiguous empty display lists to be generated.

DESCRIPTION

glGenLists has one argument, range. It returns an integer n such that range contiguous empty display lists, named n, n+1, ..., n+range-1, are created. If range is zero, if there is no group of range contiguous names available, or if any error is generated, no display lists are generated, and zero is returned.

ERRORS

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if range is negative.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glGenLists is called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd.
