The goal of this project is to make pyglet_ usable to people with no OpenGL experience by
reproducing the functionality of VPython_ for drawing geometric primitives.

Installation
------------

To Install this project, either pull it from the PyPI:
::
pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi PygletHelper

or clone it and build from source:
::
git clone https://github.com/CatherineH/pyglet_helper
cd pyglet_helper
python setup.py install

Usage
-----
The following example will show how to create a window with a sphere:

.. image:: doc/examples/sphere.png

First, create a pyglet window to draw the shapes to:
::
from pyglet.window import Window
window = Window()

Then, create a pyglet_helper view:
::
from pyglet_helper.objects.renderable import View
scene = View()

Create a gl light:
::
_light = Light()
_light.render(scene)


Geometric objects can be added to scene. For example, to define a red sphere in the center of the view:
::
from pyglet_helper.util import color
_ball = Sphere(pos=(1, 1, 0), radius=0.5, color=color.red)

Finally, render the object, and run the pyglet window:
::
_ball.render(scene)
pyglet.app.run()
