NAME

       glNewList, glEndList - create or replace a display list

C SPECIFICATION

       void glNewList( GLuint list,
		       GLenum mode )

PARAMETERS

       list  Specifies the display-list name.

       mode  Specifies the compilation mode, which can be GL_COMPILE or GL_COMPILE_AND_EXECUTE.

C SPECIFICATION

       void glEndList( void )

DESCRIPTION

       Display	lists  are  groups  of GL commands that have been stored for subsequent execution.  Display lists are created with glNewList.  All
       subsequent commands are placed in the display list, in the order issued, until glEndList is called.

       glNewList has two arguments.  The first argument, list, is a positive integer that becomes the unique name for the display list.  Names can
       be  created  and  reserved with glGenLists and tested for uniqueness with glIsList.  The second argument, mode, is a symbolic constant that
       can assume one of two values:

       GL_COMPILE		     Commands are merely compiled.

       GL_COMPILE_AND_EXECUTE	     Commands are executed as they are compiled into the display list.

       Certain commands are not compiled into the display list but are executed immediately, regardless of the display-list mode.  These  commands
       are  glAreTexturesResident,  glColorPointer, glDeleteLists, glDeleteTextures, glDisableClientState, glEdgeFlagPointer, glEnableClientState,
       glFeedbackBuffer, glFinish, glFlush, glGenLists, glGenTextures, glIndexPointer, glInterleavedArrays,  glIsEnabled,  glIsList,  glIsTexture,
       glNormalPointer,  glPopClientAttrib,  glPixelStore,  glPushClientAttrib,  glReadPixels,	glRenderMode,  glSelectBuffer,	glTexCoordPointer,
       glVertexPointer, and all of the glGet commands.

       Similarly, glTexImage1D, glTexImage2D, and glTexImage3D are executed immediately and not compiled into the display list	when  their  first
       argument is GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D, GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D, or GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_3D, respectively.

       When  the  GL_ARB_imaging  extension  is  supported,  glHistogram executes immediately when its argument is GL_PROXY_HISTOGRAM.	Similarly,
       glColorTable  executes  immediately  when   its	 first	 argument   is	 glPROXY_COLOR_TABLE,	glPROXY_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE,	or
       glPROXY_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE.

       When the GL_ARB_multitexture extension is supported, glClientActiveTextureARB is not compiled into display lists, but executed immediately.

       When glEndList is encountered, the display-list definition is completed by associating the list with the unique name list (specified in the
       glNewList command).  If a display list with name list already exists, it is replaced only when glEndList is called.

NOTES

       glCallList and glCallLists can be entered into display lists.  Commands in the display list or lists executed by glCallList or  glCallLists
       are not included in the display list being created, even if the list creation mode is GL_COMPILE_AND_EXECUTE.

       A display list is just a group of commands and arguments, so errors generated by commands in a display list must be generated when the list
       is executed. If the list is created in GL_COMPILE mode, errors are not generated until the list is executed.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if list is 0.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glEndList is called without a preceding glNewList, or if glNewList is called while a display  list	is
       being defined.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glNewList or glEndList is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of
       glEnd.

       GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY is generated if there is insufficient memory to compile the display list. If the GL version is 1.1 or greater,	no  change
       is made to the previous contents of the display list, if any, and no other change is made to the GL state. (It is as if no attempt had been
       made to create the new display list.)
