Open GL shading/lighting

[dean goodman]

I have created a Open GL display list mapped with colorized geophysical data. In one application I present this data 2D dataset in a 3D surface map. I want to apply shading to the surface which has been colorized. Is it possible to apply shading and lighting to a display list?

I have implemented the following snipet with lighting commands followed by the display list creation. The only thing I get is a solid surface which alternates from black to a light gray when I rotate the 3D surface and no colors are shown
:
DIM LightAmbient(3) AS SINGLE
DIM LightDiffuse(3) AS SINGLE
DIM LightPosition(3) AS SINGLE

LightAmbient(0) = 0.5 : LightAmbient(1) = 0.5 : LightAmbient(2) = 0.5 : LightAmbient(3) = 1.0
LightDiffuse(0) = 1.0 : LightDiffuse(1) = 1.0 : LightDiffuse(2) = 1.0 : LightDiffuse(3) = 1.0
LightPosition(0) = 0.0 : LightPosition(1) = 0.0 : LightPosition(2) = 2.0 : LightPosition(3) = 1.0

glClearColor 0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
glClearDepth 1.0
glDepthFunc GL_LESS
glEnable GL_DEPTH_TEST
glShadeModel GL_SMOOTH

glMatrixMode GL_PROJECTION
glLoadIdentity

gluPerspective (45.0,lxl/lyl,0.1,100.0)

glMatrixMode GL_MODELVIEW

glLightfv GL_LIGHT1, GL_AMBIENT, LightAmbient(0)
glLightfv GL_LIGHT1, GL_DIFFUSE, LightDiffuse(0)
glLightfv GL_LIGHT1, GL_POSITION, LightPosition(0)

glEnable GL_LIGHT1

Any help on whether Open Gl shading can be implemented into a display list or not would be helpful...
