NAME
       glCallLists - execute a list of display lists

C SPECIFICATION
       void glCallLists( GLsizei n,
			 GLenum type,
			 const GLvoid *lists )

PARAMETERS
       n      Specifies the number of display lists to be executed.

       type   Specifies	 the  type  of	values	in  lists.  Symbolic constants
	      GL_BYTE, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_SHORT, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,  GL_INT,
	      GL_UNSIGNED_INT,	  GL_FLOAT,    GL_2_BYTES,   GL_3_BYTES,   and
	      GL_4_BYTES are accepted.

       lists  Specifies the address of an array of name offsets in the display
	      list.   The  pointer  type  is  void  because the offsets can be
	      bytes, shorts, ints, or floats, depending on the value of type.

DESCRIPTION
       glCallLists causes each display list in the list	 of  names  passed  as
       lists  to be executed.  As a result, the commands saved in each display
       list are executed in order, just as if they were called without using a
       display	list.	Names  of display lists that have not been defined are
       ignored.

       glCallLists provides an efficient means for  executing  more  than  one
       display	list.	type  allows  lists  with  various  name formats to be
       accepted.  The formats are as follows:

       GL_BYTE			lists is treated as an array of signed	bytes,
				each in the range -128 through 127.

       GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE		lists  is  treated  as	an  array  of unsigned
				bytes, each in the range 0 through 255.

       GL_SHORT			lists is treated as an array  of  signed  two-
				byte   integers,  each	in  the	 range	-32768
				through 32767.

       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT	lists is treated as an array of unsigned  two-
				byte  integers,	 each  in  the range 0 through
				65535.

       GL_INT			lists is treated as an array of	 signed	 four-
				byte integers.

       GL_UNSIGNED_INT		lists is treated as an array of unsigned four-
				byte integers.

       GL_FLOAT			lists is treated  as  an  array	 of  four-byte
				floating-point values.

       GL_2_BYTES		lists  is  treated  as	an  array  of unsigned
				bytes.	Each pair of bytes specifies a	single
				display-list  name.   The value of the pair is
				computed as 256 times the  unsigned  value  of
				the  first byte plus the unsigned value of the
				second byte.

       GL_3_BYTES		lists is  treated  as  an  array  of  unsigned
				bytes.	Each triplet of bytes specifies a sin‐
				gle  display-list  name.   The	value  of  the
				triplet	  is   computed	 as  65536  times  the
				unsigned value of the  first  byte,  plus  256
				times  the  unsigned value of the second byte,
				plus the unsigned value of the third byte.

       GL_4_BYTES		lists is  treated  as  an  array  of  unsigned
				bytes.	 Each  quadruplet of bytes specifies a
				single display-list name.  The	value  of  the
				quadruplet  is	computed as 16777216 times the
				unsigned value of the first byte,  plus	 65536
				times  the  unsigned value of the second byte,
				plus 256 times the unsigned value of the third
				byte,  plus  the  unsigned value of the fourth
				byte.

       The list of display-list names is not null-terminated.  Rather, n spec‐
       ifies how many names are to be taken from lists.

       An   additional	level  of  indirection	is  made  available  with  the
       glListBase command, which specifies an unsigned offset that is added to
       each  display-list  name specified in lists before that display list is
       executed.

       glCallLists 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 must be at least 64, and it depends on the
       implementation.

       GL state is not saved and restored across a call to glCallLists.	 Thus,
       changes	made  to  GL  state  during the execution of the display lists
       remain after execution is completed.   Use  glPushAttrib,  glPopAttrib,
       glPushMatrix,  and  glPopMatrix to preserve GL state across glCallLists
       calls.

NOTES
       Display lists can be executed between a call to glBegin and the	corre‐
       sponding	 call to glEnd, as long as the display list includes only com‐
       mands that are allowed in this interval.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM	is  generated  if  type	 is  not   one	 of   GL_BYTE,
       GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_SHORT, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, GL_INT, GL_UNSIGNED_INT,
       GL_FLOAT, GL_2_BYTES, GL_3_BYTES, GL_4_BYTES.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet with argument GL_LIST_BASE
       glGet with argument GL_MAX_LIST_NESTING
       glIsList
