Re: [Visualpython-users] Best way to position fixed text ?

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

In Visual 5 you can read the window width and height (but to change them 
you first have to make the scene invisible):

box()
scene.mouse.getclick()
print scene.width, scene.height

It is true that you can't read these data in Visual 3.

More generally, it's fair to say that currently VPython doesn't provide 
good mechanisms for creating graphical user interfaces. It's good for 
navigable 3D animations, but not for a variety of other uses.
