Simple PyOpenGL Shader
Author
Hi,
I'm looking for a very simple shader tutorial in PyOpenGL (not PyGlet) that works.
I found some tutorials online, but they didn't work. This one, for example, which looks good: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/GLSLExample?parent=CookBook doesn't run--it crashes at 'glCreateShader = gl.glCreateShader' with 'AttributeError: function 'glCreateShader' not found'. I kept at it, but eventually ran into problems with glShaderSource(), which doesn't like anything I feed it.
That PyOpenGL tutorial is outdated by nearly two years--I need some working examples.
Thanks,
Ian
The sample works just fine for me (under linux). The problem must be somewhere else. Are you sure your gpu supports glsl? Have you tried installing the latest driver?
glCreateShader is available only if the GL version is 2.0 or greater.
You can get the GL version using glGetString(GL_VERSION).

Most of the opengl functions including glGetString(GL_VERSION) work only after opengl context creation. This means you have to call it after pygame.display.set_mode(...).
import pygamefrom pygame.locals import * from OpenGL.GL import *from OpenGL.GLUT import * if __name__ == '__main__': glutInit(sys.argv) width, height = 640, 480 pygame.init() pygame.display.set_mode((width, height), OPENGL | DOUBLEBUF) print glGetString(GL_VERSION)

Ah, thank you.
>>> import pygame
>>> from pygame.locals import *
>>> from OpenGL.GL import *
>>> from OpenGL.GLUT import *
>>> glutInit()
['foo']
>>> width, height = 640, 480
>>> pygame.init()
(6, 0)
>>> pygame.display.set_mode((width, height), OPENGL | DOUBLEBUF)
<Surface(640x480x32 SW)>
>>> print glGetString(GL_VERSION)
2.1.0
