glCallList(3G)
NAME
  glCallList - execute a display list

SYNOPSIS
  void glCallList(
	  GLuint list );

PARAMETERS
  list
      Specifies the integer name of the display list to be executed.

DESCRIPTION
  glCallList() 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 implementation.

  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
  corresponding call to glEnd(), as long as the display list includes only
  commands that are allowed in this interval.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet() with argument GL_MAX_LIST_NESTING
       glIsList()
