I have a GUI developed with pyside2, i have a button in this GUI, when clicking on it, a pyopengl window appears and showing what is needed. The problem is that when closing this window, the entire GUI closed. I want to continue using the GUI after closing the opengl window. I'm using GLUT to create the window.

my_GUI_mainwindow.py: import pyopengl ... ... ... self.Btn.clicked.connect(self.opengl) def opengl(self): pyopengl(file_m)

my_pyopengl.py:

    glutInit()
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH)
    glutInitWindowSize(pyopengl.g_Width, pyopengl.g_Height)
    glutCreateWindow(self.fileName)
    self.init()
    glutReshapeFunc(self.reshape)
    glutDisplayFunc(self.display)
    glutMouseFunc(self.mouse)
    glutMotionFunc(self.motion)
    glutKeyboardFunc(self.keyboard)
    glutMainLoop()

Sorry i forget to put my code. Done. – Joelle Nov 21 '19 at 12:24
You might want to take a look at setting a flag to prevent your app from terminating, like in [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/36992051/2588654). – CodeSurgeon Nov 21 '19 at 14:54

@Joelle Why don't you use QOpenGlWidget? https://stackoverflow.com/a/57718621/6622587 – eyllanesc Nov 21 '19 at 18:04

@Joelle The problem is that each way to create a window (Qt and GLUT) has an eventloop that when you open the new window will block the previous one. – eyllanesc Nov 21 '19 at 18:06
