## Chapter 1. Introduction

PyOpenGL is a cross-platform open source Python binding to the standard OpenGL API providing 2-D and 3-D graphic drawing. PyOpenGL supports the GL, GLU, GLE, and GLUT libraries. The library can be used with almost any Python windowing library which can provide an OpenGL context. Currently supported libraries include:

- FXPy
- pygame
- Tkinter
- win32gui
- wxPython

All PyOpenGL modules are contained in the package `OpenGL`. For the sake of brevity, the top level package name is omitted when referring to modules, variables and functions in this document. For example, instead of `OpenGL.GL` this document uses the label `GL`.
