- 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.
