Re: [Visualpython-users] tkinter and visual with objects

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

The following works to produce a window with nothing displayed in it:

ball = sphere()
ball.visible = 0

Another scheme would be this:

scene.range = 1
ball = sphere(radius=1e-6)

The point is that Visual doesn't create a window unless there is 
something to display.
