[PyOpenGL-Users] wxPython + PyOpenGL examples?

[Michael U. <mur...@an...>]

  I've also cross-posted this to the wxPython list, since I wasn't sure 
which would be more appropriate.

  I've been using wxPython for a little while now and have at least the 
ability to made basic applications with it.

  For a new project however, I'm thinking of using wxPython and PyOpenGL 
for some (primarily) 2D GUI stuff. Basically needing a frame, menu, a few 
buttons, a listctrl (or grid) and maybe a few other basic things. 

  Also I will need a drawing area that can zoom, scroll/clip a large 
drawing area and have drawn objects selected. This is key. There is the 
need to be able to kick off a function say when a particular object is clicked.  

  It looks like OGL could likey do this but it also appears to be 
deprecated. There's the need for this application to be around for 
another 5-10 years and hence needs to be maintainable so I thought I would 
go for standard or at least open source tools.  It might get rewritten in 
C/C++ with wxWidgets, OpenGL in the future, but I'm not 100% certain so it 
would also be nice if the code wasn't too difficult for someone to port 
if necessary.

  I know wxPython has the GLCanvas widget which is probably a good start.  

  I have the OpenGL Red Book on my desk even as I write this.

  Primarily I'm looking for some good, clear, simply examples of using 
wxPython + PyOpenGL. I have come across only a few examples on the web and 
certainly haven't seen any large, clear tutorials or texts on the subject 
though I haven't subscribed to the PyOpenGL list, perhaps I should 
cross-post it there. I've seen a couple straight up PyOpenGL examples 
but they tend to make use of PyOpenGL's bundled Tk stuff...

  So I was wondering if anyone has any short, simple code in wxPython 2.5
for doing basic 2D OpenGL work, like:

- making a wx.frame or panel
- embedding a GLCanvas
- drawing a couple simple objects (square, circle, doesn't really matter)
- selecting those objects with the mouse and having the event captured 
  so can execute a function in response to that click?
 
  Any advice would be most appreciated, emailed or to the list.
