These demos run only on SGI machines and require the 'gl' built-in module.
The demonstrate the abilities of SGI's GL library as well as the ease of
GL programming in Python. Most demos require the Z-buffer (aka
24-bitplane) option. Press ESC to get out of any of them.
backface.py Demonstrates the 'backface' GL function.
kites.py Show 3 flying kites. Demonstrates the rendering speed
obtainable by Python programs.
mclock.py A colorful clock with more options than you can
remember. Works on 8-bit machines, but allows more
colors on 24-bit machines. See mclock.doc for more
info.
mixing.py Demonstrates the effect of color mixing: through
frequent color switching it gives the effect of white
light.
nurbs.py A simple demonstration of the 'nurbs' GL functions.
Press left mouse button to toggle surface trimming.
zrgb.py Displays a 3-D Gouraud-shaded figure which can be moved
around with the mouse.
glstdwin/ This is quite different: a partial STDWIN emulation
using GL! Requires only small changes to Python
programs that use STDWIN. Some features not yet
implemented, e.g., scroll bars.
