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.

kunst.py Cute demo showing a ball suspended on four cables in
the central room of the CWI building. You can specify
three functions Fx(t), Fy(t), Fz(t) which define the
movement of the ball. Try something like sin(t),
cos(t), sin(2*t).

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.
