Overview of this book

Python is a multi-domain, interpreted programming language. It is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. It is often used as a scripting language because of its forgiving syntax and compatibility with a wide variety of different eco-systems. Python GUI Programming Cookbook follows a task-based approach to help you create beautiful and very effective GUIs with the least amount of code necessary. This book will guide you through the very basics of creating a fully functional GUI in Python with only a few lines of code. Each and every recipe adds more widgets to the GUIs we are creating. While the cookbook recipes all stand on their own, there is a common theme running through all of them. As our GUIs keep expanding, using more and more widgets, we start to talk to networks, databases, and graphical libraries that greatly enhance our GUI’s functionality. This book is what you need to expand your knowledge on the subject of GUIs, and make sure you’re not missing out in the long run.

Chapter 10. Creating Amazing 3D GUIs with PyOpenGL and PyGLet

In this chapter, we will create amazing Python GUIs that display true three-dimensional images that can be rotated around themselves so that we can look at them from all sides. We will cover the following recipes:

  • PyOpenGL transforms our GUI
  • Our GUI in 3D!
  • Using bitmaps to make our GUI pretty
  • PyGLet transforms our GUI easier than PyOpenGL
  • Our GUI in amazing colors
  • OpenGL animation 
  • Creating a slide show using tkinter
