[Visualpython-users] Collision-check

[Hans-Joachim G. <gu...@gm...>]

Hello,

I would like to
* check if objects in a scene overlap,
* check if an area in space is empty,
* get a list of objects that occupy a given point or area in space,
* get the distance between objects

E.g. in the demo "bouncing ball", I would like to check 
if the ball touches/overlaps the floor-object, as opposed 
to checking a fixed y-value for reversing the motion.

The empty-check would be useful for automatic placing of labels
(e.g. by varying the offsets if an area is occupied),
so that they don't overlap curves/objects/other labels.


There was an example for collision-check in this mailinglist 
in 2006-04, but that did its own housekeeping of objects.



Regards,
 HaJo Gurt
