[Bf-python] Suppot for bgl vertex arrays / VBOs ?

[Dalai Felinto]

HI Gert,

You can find a related topic here:
http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/912/draw-geometry-on-screen-using-bgl-module

It's not hard to expand the available (basic *) opengl functions, it's more
a matter of defining where to draw the line of when to drop bgl and use a
pyGL like library.

Do you have a list of all the opengl calls you would like to see supported?
That can help understand the scope of what you are asking.

* non-basic opengl calls are the ones that need to be bind per vertex, such
as vertex attributes. If I remember correctly those are a bit more
complicated to be incorporated in the code. Though for your need/vbo it may
be simple.
