Re: [pygame] Adding Opengl to an existing app

Hi
there is the project called lamina, which allows you to use pygame surfaces in opengl. 

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Lamina/0.2

Please open a new thread next time.

fine on an opengl surface but if possible I would like to avoid this as
it looks like quite the large task especially when it comes to text usage.

Hi,

I have an existing app that works very well and now I want to add an
opengl segment. I have the opengl park working just fine as a stand
alone app but when I try to integrate it into the main app that is when
things go bad.

In my existing app I use thing like surface.fill and display.update
which is not allowed on an opengl surface. Is there anyway that I can
start with a regular pygame surface then make it an opengl surface when
I need it to be and then switch it back when I am done with OpenGL.

I am not adversed to having two surfaces as long as I can control which
one is on top. I tried doing this but as soon as I create the opengl
surface it seems to replace the regular surface.

I suppose I could just launch a second app to display the opengl portion
but I would really like to avoid doing this.

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks,
