I am trying to draw some traingles and render some texts in screen. But I've observed that memory(RAM) is gradually increasing just only for 6 draw calls. I've 8 GB RAM. When I run the program memory usage goes from 4.2 to 6 within 1 minute. Here is the full code.

The shader program is here. But I think the problems is in buffer object. I've tried to unbind VAO/VBO and delete buffers by following code. But I see no change.
#UNBIND and DELETE VAO/VBO
glBindVertexArray(0)
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0)
glDeleteBuffers(1, id(VBO))
glDeleteBuffers(1, id(VAO))
Here is the related problem where accepted answer suggested that glGenBuffers causes memory leak. The alternate function glCreateBuffers is not available in pyopengl. How can I solve this issue?
I can't see any good reason for recreating the Vertex Array Object and Array Buffer Object every time when render_text respectively triangle is called. The vertex specification and the number of vertices doesn't change, so it would be sufficient to update the content of the buffer.
Create the Vertex Array Object and the Array Buffer Object once at initialization:
def init_buffers():
global text_VAO, text_VBO, triangle_VAO, triangle_VBO
text_VAO = glGenVertexArrays(1)
glBindVertexArray(text_VAO)
text_VBO = glGenBuffers(1)
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, text_VBO)
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 6 * 4 * 4, None, GL_STATIC_DRAW)
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0)
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, None)
vertices = [-0.5, -0.5, 0.0,
0.5, -0.5, 0.0,
0.0, 0.5, 0.0]
vertices = np.array(vertices, dtype=np.float32)
triangle_VAO = glGenVertexArrays(1)
glBindVertexArray(triangle_VAO)
triangle_VBO = glGenBuffers(1)
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, triangle_VBO)
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertices.nbytes, vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW)
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, None)
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0)
Use then in the functions render_text and triangle:
def render_text(window,shaderProgram,text,x,y,scale,Characters,color=(170,250,255)):
# [...]
glBindVertexArray(text_VAO)
for c in text:
# [...]
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, text_VBO)
glBufferSubData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0, vertices.nbytes, vertices)
# glDeleteBuffers(1, id(VBO)) <--- DELETE
# glDeleteBuffers(1, id(VAO)) <--- DELETE
def triangle(shaderProgram,window,x=0,y=0):
glBindVertexArray(triangle_VAO)
# [...]
# glDeleteBuffers(1, id(VBO)) <--- DELETE
Invoke init_buffers before the application loop:
def main():
# [...]
init_buffers()
while not glfw.window_should_close(window):
# [...]
