The OpenGL examples are based on book "Developing Graphics Frameworks with Python and OpenGL" by Lee Stemkoski and Michael Pascale published by CRC Press in 2021.
The examples cover all the book chapters with code, from 2 through 6, with some code changes and demonstrate GLSL programming by PyOpenGL. Pygame is used for control, windowing, and image loading.
You find the examples in an examples' folder. Just read a class description in a script and run it. Since the object-oriented approach is used, auxiliary classes are logically separated in other folders (packages).
With Python 3.8+, you also need the following packages or later:
- numpy 1.22.4
- pygame 2.1.2
- PyOpenGL 3.1.6
- PyOpenGL-accelerate 3.1.6
The code was tested with the following configurations on the same machine:
