Hello, 
&nbsp; I tried to use the glXCreatePixmap method from the GLX package of
PyOpenGL but I'm stucked with the needed parameters and don't really
find some examples on how to use the python binding. 
 
I tried to adapt a C code to python but it fails. 
 
I wanted to do something like that : 
 
&gt;&gt;&gt; from Xlib.display import Display 
&gt;&gt;&gt; from OpenGL.GLX import * 
&gt;&gt;&gt; d = Display() 
&gt;&gt;&gt; root = d.screen().root 
&gt;&gt;&gt; pixmap = root.create_pixmap(256, 256, 8) 
&gt;&gt;&gt; glXCreateWindow(d, cfg, pixmap, 0)<tt> 
</tt> 
But I got an error like "argument 1: exceptions.TypeError: expected
LP__XDisplay instance instead of instance". I dn't know how I can get
the needed pointer as I am in python. 
 
I just don't manage to find a good example of how to use the binding :( 
 
Would anyone have some simple scripts I could have a look at to
understand how it works ? 
 
The final problem I'm trying to solve is the creation of a bitmap from
a specific window of my x server, to incorporate it as the texture of
an object of a 3D scene, if possible in real-time... 
 
 
If you have some hints to help me it would be great. 
 
Thanks, 
&nbsp; J&eacute;r&ocirc;me
