<p>I have a lot of data that I generate from an Excel spreadsheet and would like to render them graphically using OpenGL by launching it from within a VBA module.

Since this is a VBA-specific question, and there aren't a lot of VBA-using graphics researchers, I doubt you'll get good answers here; you might do better on [so].

Thanks! I was able to find what I needed with some digging anyway, but I'll be sure to post all future followup questions there.

If you feel the answer you discovered for yourself might be relevant to others working with computer graphics in future, you could add a self answer to this question.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-06-06)

I have a lot of data that I generate from an Excel spreadsheet and would like to render them graphically using OpenGL by launching it from within a VBA module.
Here, I mean Visual Basic for **APPLICATIONS**, (not .NET). Could somebody give me a pointer on how to get started.

I've written lots of C++ code with OpenGL, but I'd like to know how to get that first foot in the door with regards to including OpenGL in a VBA environment. I'm running Windows 7. Thanks
