[PyOpenGL-Users] generating textures

[Fulko v. W. <Ful...@dt...>]

Hello,

I'm rather new to Python and have only basic OpenGL knowledge. I started 
building a user interface using both. It works very fine (thanks to all 
developers!), but I can't figure out how to make a texture. 

For this display I draw a detailed map, and the drawing takes about 0.5s. 
Rotating the map is far to slow. To speed things up I want to turn the 
map into a texture, so I can rotate and shift the texture. Loading 
textures from an image-file is widely described, but I want/need to generate 
the texture using pyOpenGL. Can that be done?, and if so: how?
All tutorials/books say: generate a bitmap. This sounds logical, but I have 
no idea how to draw a bitmap using OpenGL, let alone making one using Python.

Thanks for your help,

Fulko
