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
commands that are allowed in this interval.
ASSOCIATED GETS
glGet() with argument GL_MAX_LIST_NESTING
