glGenTextures
3G
glGenTextures
generate texture names
C Specification
void glGenTextures
GLsizei n
GLuint * textures
Parameters
n
Specifies the number of texture names to be generated.
textures
Specifies an array in which the generated texture names are stored.
Description
glGenTextures returns n texture names in textures.
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 n is negative.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glGenTextures is executed
between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding
execution of glEnd.
