Generates a contiguous set of empty display lists.
OpenGL C bindings library: libGL.a
GLuint glGenLists(GLsizei Range)
| Range | Specifies the number of contiguous empty display lists to be generated. |
The glGenLists subroutine 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 0 (zero), if there is no group of Range contiguous names available, or if any error is generated, no display lists are generated, and 0 is returned.
| GL_INVALID_VALUE | Range is negative. |
| GL_INVALID_OPERATION | The glGenLists subroutine is called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd. |
Associated gets for the glGenLists subroutine are as follows. (See the glGet subroutine for more information.)
| /usr/include/GL/gl.h | Contains C language constants, variable type definitions, and ANSI function prototypes for OpenGL. |
The glBegin or glEnd subroutine, glCallList subroutine, glCallLists subroutine, glDeleteLists subroutine, glNewList subroutine.
