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  resulting	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 during 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 com-
       mands that are allowed in this interval.
