Hi Adeola, OpenGL must be expecting a certain "packing" but your image data is packed differently. You have (at least) two options: 1) alter your numpy arrays to match the packing of OpenGL. This can be done by creating an array with the appropriate .strides value. 2) alter OpenGL's idea of how the data is packed. For this, see "7. Watch Your Pixel Store Alignment" in http://www.opengl.org/resources/features/KilgardTechniques/oglpitfall/
