so doing the opengl calls your self is what you probably want to do. if you want to use pure python extend soya.PythonCoordSyst and either use opengl calls from soya.opengl or use pyopengl. if you look at the soya cvs module soya-contrib in modelling/SoyaModelling/axis.py there is an example of this.
its also possible to write a c/pyrex extension. there is a directory in the soya cvs module soya-contrib called pyrex-example that contains more or less what i use for a template. i dont know how much opengl you know but you probably want to use display lists or vertex arrays with such an amount of data. also if you can use triangle strips this greatly reduces the amount of data that needs to be sent to the card. all those terms should be google'able ;) i would give you links to the web cvs but i cant get to gna.org atm =| this page however does tell you how to check the stuff out: http://soya.literati.org/SoyaContrib dunk On Sun, May 01, 2005 at 11:39:09AM -0400, Luis Alberto Zarrabeitia wrote: > Well, I don't think TreeShapify will help me much: I need to view the > whole model (unless I'm zooming in), I don't need raypicking, and the > very slow part is the Shapifing process. > > I'm reading the data from a file (the output of another process, the > one that does the computations I want to display), and it consists on > a list of triangles.
