This project provides modern pythonic bindings to OpenGL.
What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
ModernGL vs PyOpenGL
--Compared to PyOpenGL it is more pythonic, and easier to use and learn. --Faster than PyOpenGL in certain cases. --Less amount of code for the same behaviour.
# PyOpenGL
vbo1 = glGenBuffers(1)
GL.glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo1)
GL.glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, b'Hello World!', GL_STATIC_DRAW)
vbo2 = glGenBuffers(1)
GL.glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo2)
GL.glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, b'\x00' * 1024, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW)# ModernGL
vbo1 = ctx.buffer(b'Hello World!')
vbo2 = ctx.buffer(reserve=1024, dynamic=True)Another pull request was made years ago here: #893 But it went stale. I'm actually surprised it isn't already on the list, it seems fairly popular, and quite nice.
