Re: [Visualpython-users] Line between two 3D points.

[<bre...@un...>]

I'm no expert, but wouldn't it be 

cylinder(pos=(x1,y1,z1), axis=(x2-x1,y2-y1,z2-z1))

[Visualpython-users] Line between two 3D points.






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
