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.)
