PyQtGraph's 3D Graphics System
==============================
The 3D graphics system in pyqtgraph is composed of a :class:`view widget <pyqtgraph.opengl.GLViewWidget>` and
several graphics items (all subclasses of :class:`GLGraphicsItem <pyqtgraph.opengl.GLGraphicsItem>`) which
can be added to a view widget.
**Note 1:** pyqtgraph.opengl is based on the deprecated OpenGL fixed-function pipeline. Although it is
currently a functioning system, it is likely to be superceded in the future by `VisPy <http://vispy.org>`_.
**Note 2:** use of this system requires python-opengl bindings. Linux users should install the python-opengl
packages from their distribution. Windows/OSX users can download from `<http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net>`_.
