- 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.
