Hi,

I'm visualising very often (larger) multi-dimensional data sets using VPython. 
For certain dimensions (beyond the 3D position) I am using colour. When 
rotating through the data set to get views from different perspectives I am 
seeing the spacial objects (mostly spheres and boxes) often like the "dark 
side of the moon" (thanks Pink Floyd), and colours become very difficult do 
discriminate.

It would be nice if the light source position could be defined as fixed 
relative to the observer, rather than relative to the scene. I believe a 
simple boolean flag should be sufficient for this.

Any comments?

Guy
