That'd a fairly simple demo; you'll find a "big brother" of it in the 
"dots" demo with PyOpenGL (which is a particle system composed of dots 
(points)).

OpenGLContext has a number of demos for displaying pointsets (dots), 
including the basic pointset test that just creates a set of 20 points 
or so.

If what you mean is that you want to create a *mesh* from a point-set, 
then you need to add some more information, particularly you need a way 
to figure out the topological connections between points.  If it's a 
regular x,y grid, you can readily construct the polygons, if not, you 
get into something a little more fuzzy.

Good luck,
Mike
