Re: [Visualpython-users] No polygon primitive in VPython?

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

VPython has a minimalist flavor, due in part to being driven by user 
needs (and no one has to my knowledge ever before requested a polygon 
object or showed a need for it) and also to the fact that few people 
have so far stepped forward to contribute to the development of this 
open-source project.

The fact that you can draw irregular polygons (and anything else) using 
the faces object, albeit with more effort than might otherwise be 
required, and given the immense amount of other work that has had to be 
done, the development of a polygon object necessarily has had very low 
priority (actually, zero until now).
