Requirements

  • Python 2.7

  • Python 3.2

Features

  • glut window

  • tkinter’s togl widget

  • wxPython’s GLCanvas widget(wxPython for python3 is not exist)

Controller convention

You should implement Controller class that has follow methods.

  • onUpdate

  • onLeftDown

  • onLeftUp

  • onMiddleDown

  • onMiddleUp

  • onRightDown

  • onRightUp

  • onMotion

  • onResize

  • onWheel

  • onKeyDown

  • draw

example

# coding: utf-8
from OpenGL.GL import *


class Controller(object):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def onResize(self, w, h):
        glViewport(0, 0, w, h)

    def onLeftDown(self, x, y):
        print 'onLeftDown', x, y

    def onLeftUp(self, x, y):
        print 'onLeftUp', x, y

    def onMiddleDown(self, x, y):
        print 'onMiddleDown', x, y

    def onMiddleUp(self, x, y):
        print 'onMiddleUp', x, y

    def onRightDown(self, x, y):
        print 'onRightDown', x, y

    def onRightUp(self, x, y):
