- generate texture names



C SPECIFICATION


PARAMETERS

       _param1  Specifies  the number of texture names to be gen-
                erated.

       _param2  Specifies an array in which the generated texture
                names are stored.


DESCRIPTION

       glGenTextures  returns  _param1  texture names in _param2.
       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 _param1 is negative.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glGenTextures is exe-
       cuted between the execution of glBegin and the correspond-
       ing execution of glEnd.
