[PyOpenGL-Users] openglcontext 2.0 problem

[gabor <ga...@re...>]

hi,

1.
i've created a simple app using testcontext. my render method looks like
this:
        def Render(self, mode = 0):
                BaseContext.Render(self,mode)
                glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE)

                t = time.time()
                for trilist in self.tris:
                       glVertexPointerd(trilist )
                       glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
                       glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0,len(trilist))

                t = time.time() -t

                print "renderTime",t * 1000.0,"milliseconds"

i'm rendering around 1500-2000 wireframe triangles this way, and it's
too slow... i got renderTime around 37 miliseconds..., that means around
30fps...

if i do it with the gl functions commented out i got aroun
0.007 miliseconds...

does that rendering take so long?

then i replaced that glVertexpointer code with:
			glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES)
                        for v in trilist:
                                glVertex3f(v[0],v[1],v[2])
                        glEnd()

and it renders in around 28 miliseconds... it's faster ?!?!?!?!?!?!

what am i doing wrong?


2.
a have meshes defined as list of triangles... i need to do be able to
pick a triangle of it with the mouse... in the past i used glUnproject
to get the mouse coords, and then doing the intersection math...
is there something on OpenGLContext2 that i could use for this?

thanks,
gabor
