NAME
       glCallList - execute a display list


C SPECIFICATION
       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	 dur-
       ing 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 corre-
       sponding call to glEnd, as long as the display list includes only com-
       mands that are allowed in this interval.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet with argument GL_MAX_LIST_NESTING
       glIsList
