API

The API is mainly defined by the PyOpenGL project (i.e. you use GL.someName, like with PyOpenGL). However, there are a few special functions that pypp-opengl has a separate API for, to make them more compatiable with Py++ (since Py++ is statically typed and does not use pointers). These special functions are:

gl_gen_buffer
gl_gen_buffers
gl_delete_buffer
gl_gen_vertex_array
gl_gen_vertex_arrays
gl_delete_vertex_array
gl_delete_vertex_arrays
gl_shader_source
gl_shader_sources
gl_get_shader_iv
gl_get_program_iv
gl_get_shader_info_log
gl_get_program_info_log

Supported OpenGL attributes and functions

Only the attributes and functions which are shown in the above examples are tested. However, its very likely that others will work also, and you will most easily find out by trying them in your code.

When you find an attribute or function which does not work, it would be really helpful if you submit a feature request with title support for <some_name>. Thanks in advance for if you do that.
