Description: Python wrapper for Ygl
        =======================
        
        Ygl_, developed by Fred Hucht, emulates a significant subset of SGI's
        `IRIS GL`_ on X11.  IRIS GL was a precursor to OpenGL. Ygl is an easy to
        use library.  This package provides a ctypes-based, Python wrapper for
        Ygl_.  It also provides a convenient and rather simple plotting
        interface. 
        
        It is perhaps a lot more convenient to use OpenGL via PyOpenGL_,
        however, I am providing this wrapper for legacy support for applications
        that have used Ygl.  I used to provide a SWIG_ based wrapper but a
        ctypes based wrapper is a lot easier to build and install.

        Installation
        -------------
        
        You will require to have Ygl installed.  Under Debian/Ubuntu, this is
        easily done by installing libygl4 like so::
        
            $ sudo apt-get install libygl4
        
        If you are not on Debian or Ubuntu you would need to install Ygl from
        the sources downloadable from the Ygl_ webpage.
        
        To install the wrapper you should be able to simply do::
        
           $ easy_install ygl
        
        
        Examples
        ---------
        
        There are a few sample examples in the examples directory of the source
        package.  These should show you how to use both the ``ygl`` module and the
        ``yplot`` module.  A simple example of how to use ``yplot`` is in
        ``examples/plot.py``.
