It knows nothing about windowing systems but can be used directly to find both renderer information and as a full screen or off screen interface. It is accessible from both Cocoa and Carbon and is what both NSGL and AGL are built on. A complete Pbuffer interface is also provided. Functionality is provided in via the OpenGL framework and applications can include the OpenGL.h header to access CGL's functionality. Developers can see an example of using CGL with Carbon in the Carbon CGL code sample. Documentation and header files are found in: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework /System/Library/Frameworks/GLUT.framework """ import ctypes, ctypes.util from OpenGL.platform import baseplatform, ctypesloader class DarwinPlatform( baseplatform.BasePlatform ): """Darwin (OSX) platform implementation""" DEFAULT_FUNCTION_TYPE = staticmethod( ctypes.CFUNCTYPE ) EXTENSIONS_USE_BASE_FUNCTIONS = True @baseplatform.lazy_property def GL(self): try: return ctypesloader.loadLibrary( ctypes.cdll, 'OpenGL', mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL ) except OSError as err: raise ImportError("Unable to load OpenGL library", *err.args) @baseplatform.lazy_property def GLU(self): return self.GL @baseplatform.lazy_property def CGL(self): return self.GL @baseplatform.lazy_property def GLUT( self ): try: return ctypesloader.loadLibrary( ctypes.cdll, 'GLUT', mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL ) except OSError as err: return None @baseplatform.lazy_property def GLE(self): return self.GLUT @baseplatform.lazy_property def GetCurrentContext( self ): return self.CGL.CGLGetCurrentContext def getGLUTFontPointer( self, constant ): """Platform specific function to retrieve a GLUT font pointer GLUTAPI void *glutBitmap9By15; #define GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15 (&glutBitmap9By15) Key here is that we want the addressof the pointer in the DLL, not the pointer in the DLL.
