Re: [Visualpython-users] Placing Graphics Output on a Printer

[Wayne W. <sie...@sb...>]

Thanks. I found some hints in the FAQ. I have SnagIt, so that will 
probably suffice. More questions.

How do I find other attributes for various objects like curve, sphere, 
etc.? For example, is there an edge attribute for sphere, so that if I 
make it completely transparent, the outline can still be seen?  An 
outline. If so, can its thickness be changed? Is it possible to use 
Greek letters in Label? Is there a hemisphere object? Maybe it's an 
attribute of sphere? I guess ring is for circles? Are there arcs 
somewhere with arrows on each end for putting text between the arrows? 
Just plain arcs (part of a circle) or solid sections of a sphere 
(surface section area extending down to the center of the sphere)? Can I 
put an arrow on a graph? That is, suppose I wanted to show an x-y 
coordinate system with a drawn vector on it.

It doesn't seem as though Windows (choice) works properly on 
<file:///C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages/visual/docs/visual/cylinder.html>. 
It acts just like Windows/Events/Files.
