Extensions and Conditional

Functionality PyOpenGL has support for

most OpenGL extensions. Extensions

are available as "normal" function

pointers by importing the constructed

package name for the extension, for

instance:from OpenGL.GL.ARB.vertex_buffer_object import * buffer = glGenBuffersARB(1)

there is no need to call

initialization functions or the like

for the extension module. You can, if

you like, call the "init" function for

the extension to retrieve a boolean

indicating whether the local machine

supports a given extension, like so:if glInitVertexBufferObjectARB():

...

However, it is normally clearer to

test for the boolean truth of the

entry points you wish to use:if (glGenBuffersARB):

buffers = glGenBuffersARB( 1 )

There are often a

number of entry points which implement

the same API, for which you would like

to use whichever implementation is

available (likely with some preference

in order). The OpenGL.extensions

module provides an easy mechanism to

support this:from OpenGL.extensions import alternate

glCreateProgram = alternate( 'glCreateProgram', glCreateProgram, glCreateProgramObjectARB)

glCreateProgram = alternate( glCreateProgram, glCreateProgramObjectARB)

If the first

element is a string it will be used as

the name of the alternate object,

otherwise the name is taken from the

first argument.
