Re: [Visualpython-users] improve vpython's function for 3D math?

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

Not sure what you're looking for in VPython that isn't already there.

Points can already be expressed as small spheres (and there's a "points" 
object in the beta version, Visual 4), spheres are of course available, 
and a line is just a two-point curve object (or a thin cylinder). Maybe 
it is "plane" that is missing? You can make a plane either as a thin box 
object, or using the faces object.

Can you be more specific about your needs?
