OpenGL Wrapper (bgl)
====================

.. module:: bgl

This module wraps OpenGL constants and functions, making them available from
within Blender Python.

The complete list can be retrieved from the module itself, by listing its
contents: dir(bgl).  A simple search on the web can point to more
than enough material to teach OpenGL programming, from books to many
collections of tutorials.

Here is a comprehensive `list of books <https://www.khronos.org/developers/books/>`__ (non free).
The `arcsynthesis tutorials <https://web.archive.org/web/20150225192611/http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/index.html>`__
is one of the best resources to learn modern OpenGL and
`g-truc <http://www.g-truc.net/post-opengl-samples.html#menu>`__
offers a set of extensive examples, including advanced features.

.. class:: Buffer

   The Buffer object is simply a block of memory that is delineated and initialized by the
   user. Many OpenGL functions return data to a C-style pointer, however, because this
   is not possible in python the Buffer object can be used to this end. Wherever pointer
   notation is used in the OpenGL functions the Buffer object can be used in it's bgl
   wrapper. In some instances the Buffer object will need to be initialized with the template
   parameter, while in other instances the user will want to create just a blank buffer
   which will be zeroed by default.

   .. code-block:: python

      import bgl

      myByteBuffer = bgl.Buffer(bgl.GL_BYTE, [32, 32])
      bgl.glGetPolygonStipple(myByteBuffer)

      print(myByteBuffer.dimensions)
      print(myByteBuffer.to_list())

      sliceBuffer = myByteBuffer[0:16]
      print(sliceBuffer)

   .. attribute:: dimensions

      The number of dimensions of the Buffer.

   .. method:: to_list()

      The contents of the Buffer as a python list.

   .. method:: __init__(type, dimensions, template = None):

      This will create a new Buffer object for use with other bgl OpenGL commands.
      Only the type of argument to store in the buffer and the dimensions of the buffer
      are necessary. Buffers are zeroed by default unless a template is supplied, in
      which case the buffer is initialized to the template.

      :type type: int
      :arg type: The format to store data in. The type should be one of
         GL_BYTE, GL_SHORT, GL_INT, or GL_FLOAT.
      :type dimensions: An int or sequence object specifying the dimensions of the buffer.
      :arg dimensions: If the dimensions are specified as an int a linear array will
         be created for the buffer. If a sequence is passed for the dimensions, the buffer
         becomes n-Dimensional, where n is equal to the number of parameters passed in the
         sequence. Example: [256,2] is a two- dimensional buffer while [256,256,4] creates
         a three- dimensional buffer. You can think of each additional dimension as a sub-item
         of the dimension to the left. i.e. [10,2] is a 10 element array each with 2 sub-items.
         [(0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1), (2,0), ...] etc.
      :type template: A python sequence object (optional)
      :arg template: A sequence of matching dimensions which will be used to initialize
         the Buffer. If a template is not passed in all fields will be initialized to 0.
      :rtype: Buffer object
      :return: The newly created buffer as a PyObject.
