Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] offscreen rendering problem with glInitFramebufferObjectEXT

[Revaz Y. <yve...@ep...>]

Ok, I've found nice solutions to my problem:

- with glut, to avoid to display a window simply use glutHideWindow :-[ :

glutCreateWindow("my window")
glutHideWindow()

- simple and good examples about offscreen rendering using FrameBuffer 
and Renderbuffer can be found here:

Cheers,

yves
