Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] freeglut: Unable to create direct context rendering

[JoN <jo...@we...>]

This code works for me, stolen from the NeHe tutes:


    glutInit(sys.argv)

    # Select type of Display mode:
    # Double buffer
    # RGBA color
    # Depth buffer
    # Alpha blending
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_ALPHA=
)

    # get a 640 x 480 window
    glutInitWindowSize(640, 480)

    # the window starts at the upper left corner of the screen
    glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0)

    # Open a window
    window =3D glutCreateWindow("Jeff Molofee's GL Code Tutorial ... NeHe=
 '99")
