Remarks

The glDeleteLists function causes a contiguous group of display lists to be deleted. The list parameter is the name of the first display list to be deleted, and range is the number of display lists to delete. All display lists d with list = d = list + range - 1 are deleted.

All storage locations allocated to the specified display lists are freed, and the names are available for reuse at a later time. Names within the range that do not have an associated display list are ignored. If range is zero, nothing happens.
