base.BaseWindow

Methods

BaseWindow.__init__(title='ModernGL', gl_version=(3, 3), size=(1280, 720), resizable=True, fullscreen=False, vsync=True, aspect_ratio=1.7777777777777777, samples=4, cursor=True, **kwargs)[source]

Initialize a window instance.

Parameters

  • title (str) – The window title

  • gl_version (tuple) – Major and minor version of the opengl context to create

  • size (tuple) – Window size x, y

  • resizable (bool) – Should the window be resizable?

  • fullscreen (bool) – Open window in fullsceeen mode

  • vsync (bool) – Enable/disable vsync

  • aspect_ratio (float) – The desired aspect ratio. Can be set to None.

  • samples (int) – Number of MSAA samples for the default framebuffer

  • cursor (bool) – Enable/disable displaying the cursor inside the window

BaseWindow.init_mgl_context() → None[source]

Create or assign a ModernGL context. If no context is supplied a context will be created using the window’s gl_version.

Keyword Arguments

ctx – An optional custom ModernGL context

BaseWindow.is_key_pressed(key) → bool[source]

Returns: The press state of a key

BaseWindow.close() → None[source]

Signal for the window to close

BaseWindow.use()[source]

Bind the window’s framebuffer

BaseWindow.clear(red=0.0, green=0.0, blue=0.0, alpha=0.0, depth=1.0, viewport=None)[source]

Binds and clears the default framebuffer

Parameters

  • red (float) – color component

  • green (float) – color component

  • blue (float) – color component

  • alpha (float) – alpha component

  • depth (float) – depth value

  • viewport (tuple) – The viewport

BaseWindow.render(time=0.0, frame_time=0.0) → None[source]

Renders a frame by calling the configured render callback

Keyword Arguments

  • time (float) – Current time in seconds

  • frame_time (float) – Delta time from last frame in seconds

BaseWindow.swap_buffers() → None[source]

Library specific buffer swap method. Must be overridden.

BaseWindow.resize(width, height) → None[source]

Should be called every time window is resized so the example can adapt to the new size if needed

BaseWindow.destroy() → None[source]

A library specific destroy method is required

BaseWindow.set_default_viewport() → None[source]

Calculates the viewport based on the configured aspect ratio. Will add black borders and center the viewport if the window do not match the configured viewport.

If aspect ratio is None the viewport will be scaled to the entire window size regardless of size.

BaseWindow.print_context_info()[source]

Prints moderngl context info.
