  Hi all,

  What is the VPython code to draw a cylinder between two arbitrary 3D points?

  I'm looking for an equivalent to the Windows GDI:
      line(x1, y1, x2, y2), but in 3d.

  Maybe    Line(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)  or  Line(point1=(x,y,z), point2=(x,y,z))

  It seems that I would have to calculate the angle vector between the two points and use that as the axis.

  Then I would have to calculate the distance between the two points.

  Is there an easier way?   Sample code would help too.

  Thanks,
  Doug Mair
