glCallList(3G)glCallList(3G)NAMEglCallList - execute a display list
SYNOPSIS
void glCallList(
GLuint list );
PARAMETERS
Specifies the integer name of the display list to be executed.
DESCRIPTIONglCallList() 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 imple‐
mentation.
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 cor‐
responding call to glEnd(), as long as the display list includes only
commands that are allowed in this interval.
