Animation not stopping when variable = False. it prints false but the animation does not stop.

while self.runv == True:
self.app.animate = 1
self.app.after(100, self.app.printContext)
self.app.mainloop()
else:
print("false")
self.app.animate = 0
self.app.after(100, self.app.printContext)
self.app.mainloop()
updated code but animation still carrying on. and yes the loop does work. it prints true and false when needed.
while self.runv == True:
print("true")
self.app.animate = 1
self.app.after(100, self.app.printContext)
self.app.mainloop()
print("false")
self.runv = False
self.app.animate = 0
self.app.after(100, self.app.printContext)
self.app.mainloop()
I have a feeling its because you cant animate and stop animating mid way through running a program.
Use markdown code blocks 😄 : https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/writing-on-github/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks
@einarf i swear that wasn't working earlier, now that i formatted it is it easier to understand my issue?
How are you updating the variable after you called mainloop? Usually there needs to be a callback from the gui loop. E.g. when does it know to start and stop animation?
I add a function to a button to update self.runv. I'll upload my code to a github.
I sent you a pull request. You need to call tkExpose or _display to trigger the animate loop.
Thank you so much, you are a great person.
@jonwright i see this has tk.expose, are all of the things on here relevant?

This code was written to avoid needing to recompile togl. Hopefully this is vaguely compatible, most of the code comes from there.
@jonwright what method would i use to reset an animation?
nothing on here works except "keys" which returned nothing, http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/pydoc/OpenGL.Tk.html.
