Module BGL

The Blender.BGL submodule (the OpenGL wrapper).

New: some GLU functions: gluLookAt, etc.

The Blender.BGL submodule

(when accessing it from the Game Engine use BGL instead of Blender.BGL)

This module wraps OpenGL constants and functions, making them available from within Blender Python.

The complete list can be retrieved from the module itself, by listing its contents: dir(Blender.BGL). A simple search on the net can point to more than enough material to teach OpenGL programming, from books to many collections of tutorials.

The "red book": "OpenGL Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL" and the online NeHe tutorials are two of the best resources.

Example:

 import Blender
 from Blender.BGL import *
 from Blender import Draw
 R = G = B = 0
 A = 1
 title = "Testing BGL  + Draw"
 instructions = "Use mouse buttons or wheel to change the background color."
 quitting = " Press ESC or q to quit."
 len1 = Draw.GetStringWidth(title)
 len2 = Draw.GetStringWidth(instructions + quitting)
