[PyOpenGL-Users] My recent experiments in text...

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

I've been working on text-node support for OpenGLContext.  At the moment 
I have basic glDrawPixels-based text support using any of:

    * PyGame (antialiased, most control, loaded directly from ttf files
      via SDL_ttf),
    * WGL (Win32 only, obviously)
    * wxPython (non-antialiased, but has (primitive) font-name matching
      to allow specifying, for instance "times roman" and having the
      system search for a font with Times Roman included in the name)

the same code drives the (basic) layout for the three sources.

I'm going to look at creating texture-based text as well (a single 
texture mapped to polygons to create flat text affected by the current 
transform).

The WGL-based polygonal text, is still there, haven't come up with a 
good cross platform solution for that yet.

Have fun,
Mike
