Re: [Visualpython-users] ring error?

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

Thanks for the detailed report. Is it only rings that are the problem? 
Is this on Windows?

I have seen (in only one rather special program) a temporary mistake 
involving rings, in which momentarily I see a infinite cylinder starting 
on the ring and headed southwest. But I've never seen anything like what 
you see; in all other programs involving rings they look fine (and I 
haven't seen the infinite cylinder problem on Linu). The most likely 
issue is with the graphics driver, which you may need to update. The 
support for OpenGL by graphics card is widespread but not always 
accurate, and often updating the graphics driver solves a variety of 
problems.
