Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] fit object to screen

[Mads I. <mp...@co...>]

Calculate the size of the bounding box that enclose all your objects. 
Then make sure the bounding box fits your scene.

For a good discussion on the topic, read the section 'Troubleshooting 
Transformations' http://www.glprogramming.com/red/chapter03.html

Best regards,

Mads
