glGenTextures(3G)
NAME
  glGenTextures - generate texture names

SYNOPSIS
  void glGenTextures(
	  GLsizei n,
	  GLuint *textures );

PARAMETERS
  n   Specifies the number of texture names to be generated.

  textures
      Specifies an array in which the generated texture names are stored.

DESCRIPTION
  glGenTextures() returns n texture names in textures. There is no guarantee
  that the names form a contiguous set of integers; however, it is guaranteed
  that none of the returned names was in use immediately before the call to
  glGenTextures().

  The generated textures have no dimensionality; they assume the
  dimensionality of the texture target to which they are first bound (see
  glBindTexture()).

  Texture names returned by a call to glGenTextures() are not returned by
  subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with glDeleteTextures().

NOTES
  glGenTextures() is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

ERRORS
  GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.

  GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glGenTextures() is executed between
  the execution of glBegin() and the corresponding execution of glEnd().

ASSOCIATED GETS
  glIsTexture()
