zengl 1.12.2

Self-Contained OpenGL Rendering Pipelines for Python

ZenGL

pip install zengl

• zengl on Github
• zengl on PyPI

Concept

ZenGL provides a simple way to render from Python. We aim to support headless rendering first, rendering to a window is done by blitting the final image to the screen. By doing this we have full control of what we render. The window does not have to be multisample, and it requires no depth buffer at all.

Examples

ZenGL also works from the Browser (In-Browser Examples)

Headless

import zengl
from PIL import Image

ctx = zengl.context(zengl.loader(headless=True))

size = (1280, 720)
image = ctx.image(size, 'rgba8unorm', samples=1)

triangle = ctx.pipeline(
    vertex_shader='''

        out vec3 v_color;

        vec2 positions[3] = vec2[](
            vec2(0.0, 0.8),
            vec2(-0.6, -0.8),

    ''',
    framebuffer=[image],
    topology='triangles',
    vertex_count=3,
)

image.clear_value = (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
image.clear()
triangle.render()

Image.frombuffer('RGBA', size, image.read(), 'raw', 'RGBA', 0, -1).save('hello.png')
