I was afraid of that.


For now they have deprecated it, let's hope that they ship the
libraries for a couple more years...


Or somebody writes OGL2MTL - a library with the OpenGL API that 
translates everything to metal.

Hi David,

PyMOL uses OpenGL on macOS, so if Apple drops it, we're screwed :-( For now 
they have deprecated it, let's hope that they ship the libraries for a couple 
more years...

[PyMOL] PyMOL without OpenGL (OS X)?

2018-06-06 Thread David Mathog

As reported here:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/06/the-end-of-opengl-support-other-updates-apple-didnt-share-at-the-keynote/

Apple has declared that they are dropping support for OpenGL from OS X.  
How will that affect PyMOL on OS X?  Does that version already use metal 
(or something else) or is it still OpenGL based?


Thanks,
