GLCALLLIST(3G)                                                                                GLCALLLIST(3G)



NAME
       glCallList - execute a display list


C SPECIFICATION
       void glCallList( GLuint list )


PARAMETERS
       list  Specifies the integer name of the display list to be executed.

DESCRIPTION
       glCallList  causes the named display list to be executed.  The commands saved in the display list are
       executed in order, just as if they were called without using a display list.  If list  has  not  been
       defined as a display list, glCallList is ignored.

       glCallList  can appear inside a display list.  To avoid the possibility of infinite recursion result-ing resulting
       ing from display lists calling one another, a limit is placed on the nesting level of  display  lists
       during display-list execution.  This limit is at least 64, and it depends on the implementation.

       GL  state is not saved and restored across a call to glCallList.  Thus, changes made to GL state dur-ing during
       ing the execution of a display list remain after execution of the display  list  is  completed.   Use
       glPushAttrib,  glPopAttrib,  glPushMatrix,  and  glPopMatrix  to  preserve GL state across glCallList
       calls.

NOTES
       Display lists can be executed between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd, as  long
       as the display list includes only commands that are allowed in this interval.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet with argument GL_MAX_LIST_NESTING
       glIsList
