pg: The Python Graphics Framework

pg is a lightweight, high-level OpenGL graphics framework for Python. It is a work in progress.

Tutorial

A basic tutorial is available here:

http://pg.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html

Features

Many OpenGL applications have a lot of features in common, but there's a lot of boilerplate involved when using OpenGL. This high-level framework lets you focus on your application-specific functionality instead.

• shaders
  • compile and link
  • attributes and uniforms
  • built-in shaders for common use-cases
• vertex buffers
  • optionally interleaved
• matrices
  • translate, rotate, scale
  • perspective and orthographic projections
  • transpose, determinant, inverse
• textures
• geometric shapes
  • sphere, cuboid, plane, cylinder, cone, axes
• models
  • .obj and .stl file formats
• WASD movement
  • built-in!
• windowing and input
  • glfw-based
  • multiple windows

Dependencies

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install glfw3
pip install Pillow PyOpenGL
