glGenLists: generate a contiguous set of empty display lists.
C Specification
GLuint glGenLists(
GLsizei range)
Parameters

glGenLists has one argument, range. It returns an integer n such that range contiguous
empty display lists, named n, n +1,...,n + range - 1, are created. If range is 0, if there is
no group of range contiguous names available, or if any error is generated, no display
lists are generated, and 0 is returned.

• GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if range is negative.
• GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glGenLists is executed between the
execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
