Re: [pygame] using opengl in pygame?

Actually, I have found that Mesa (the open source OpenGL clone) is
generally fast enough for most OpenGL applications that don't require
animated action. I have written 3 small internal applications where I
used OpenGL via Mesa for 2D drawing capabilities. If you ever have to
explicitly draw zooms, pans or clipping (eg. a map application), letting
Mesa handle these transforms is dramatically faster than trying to do
this stuff in Python.
It's also a *lot* easier to program pans and zooms by just changing an
OpenGL matrix rather than having to handle all of the transform math
yourself in Python.
How can i draw circle or arc in 2D OpenGL?
