GLNEWLIST(3G)			 OpenGL Manual			 GLNEWLIST(3G)

NAME
       glNewList - 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 ARB_imaging extension is supported, glHistogram() executes
       immediately when its argument is GL_PROXY_HISTOGRAM. Similarly,
       glColorTable() executes immediately when its first argument is
       GL_PROXY_COLOR_TABLE, GL_PROXY_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE, or
       GL_PROXY_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE.

       For OpenGL versions 1.3 and greater, or when the ARB_multitexture
       extension is supported, glClientActiveTexture() 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.)

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glIsList()

       glGet() with argument GL_LIST_INDEX

       glGet() with argument GL_LIST_MODE
