[PyOpenGL-Users] command-line rendering.

[Uwe H. <uw...@he...>]

Hi,

is it possible to use PyOpenGL / PyOpenGLContext to render a scene
without having to run an X11 server?

Basically, what I want to achieve is rendering a scene (e.g. imported from a
VRML file) from the command line and then dump a screenshot of that (PNG,
JPG, whatever).

I can load the VRML and dump the rendered image easily, _but_ I cannot
figure out how to do it _without_ opening a window (i.e. requiring X11).


I guess I could abuse something like xfvb, but there
must be a more elegant way...

TIA, Uwe.
