You missed to install the shader program by glUseProgram:
shaderProgram = shaders.compileProgram(vertexshader, fragmentshader)
glUseProgram(shaderProgram) # <---
The 2nd argument to glBufferData and the 3rd argument of glBufferSubData is the size in bytes:
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 6 * 4, None, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW)
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 6 * 4 * 4, None, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW)
glBufferSubData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0, len(vertices), vertices)
glBufferSubData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0, vertices.nbytes, vertices)
The vertex attribute consist of a 2 dimension vertex coordinate (x, y) and a 2 dimensional texture coordinate. Remove the wird zfix from the array of vertex attribute data. Furthermore you have to flip the 2nd component of the texture coordinates (otherwise the text is upside down)
def _get_rendering_buffer(xpos, ypos, w, h, zfix=0.0):
return np.asarray([
xpos, ypos - h, 0, 0,
xpos, ypos, 0, 1,
xpos + w, ypos, 1, 1,
xpos, ypos - h, 0, 0,
xpos + w, ypos, 1, 1,
xpos + w, ypos - h, 1, 0
], np.float32)
The stride argument of glVertexAttribIPointer has to be specified in bytes. If stride is 0, the generic vertex attributes are understood to be tightly packed in the array. Hence in your case stride has to be 16 or 0:
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 4, 0)
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, None)
face.load_char(chr(i)) generates a image with on color channel (1 byte per pixel). Use the internal format and format GL_RED rather than GL_RGB for generating the 2 dimensional texture image:
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RED, glyph.bitmap.width, glyph.bitmap.rows, 0,
GL_RED, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, glyph.bitmap.buffer)
You have to bind the vertex array, before drawing the text:
glBindVertexArray(VAO)
for c in text:
# [...]
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6)
There is typo when you increment x, you have to use the >>-operator rather than the +-operator:
x += (ch.advance+6)*scale
x += (ch.advance>>6)*scale
and another typo when you compute h:
h = w*scale
h = h*scale
You have to enable alpha blending:
glEnable(GL_BLEND)
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)
In NDC (normalized device coordinates) the left bottom is (-1, -1) and the right top is (1, 1). Set the orthographic projection in that way, that the top left of the window is at (0, 0):
projection = glm.ortho(0.0,640,0.0,640)
projection = glm.ortho(0, 640, 640, 0)
The reference point of the text is at the bottom. Hence you have to set a x coordinate greater than the text height:
render_text(window,'hello',1,1,1,(100,100,100))
render_text(window,'hello', 20, 50, 1, (255, 100, 100))
