scribbling-worms.py
An example program to experiement with the use of
threading with PyGtk and PyGtkGLExt library.
It uses the scribble-gl.py module and imports
the Scribble class that implements the GLScene
interface to draw scribbles on a white background.
This demo focuses on creating autonomous threads
that independently draw scribbles in random directions
giving the impression of scribbling worms.
Main requirement is a threading enabled PyGtk library.
The locks provided by PyGtk in serialising access to
Gtk from multiple threads are vital. They ensure that
PyGtkGLExt is also protected even though it does not
explicitly have any notion of thread support.
The main application window is a separate thread that
lets the user create new threads for scribbling on the
window. All drawing is done using OpenGL. The user can
create as many threads as Python would allow. When the
main GUI thread is killed by closing the window, all the
other threads are signalled to exit as well. The beauty
of multithreading is that the user can scribble at the
same time as the other threads are scribbling!
