			<tt>gluErrorString</tt> produces an error string from a GL or GLU error code. The string is in ISO Latin 1
			format. For example, <tt>gluErrorString</tt>(<tt>GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY</tt>) returns the string
			<i><tt>out of memory</tt></i>.
		</p><p>
			The standard GLU error codes are <tt>GLU_INVALID_ENUM</tt>, <tt>GLU_INVALID_VALUE</tt>, and
			<tt>GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY</tt>. Certain other GLU functions can return specialized error codes through
			callbacks. See the <a href="glGetError.3G.xml"><tt>glGetError</tt></a> reference page for the list of GL error codes.
