Re: [Visualpython-users] Keeping labels in one place

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

The current version of VPython (5.32) offers a text object as well as a
label object. The label object always faces the viewer, independent of
rotation, whereas the (new) text object is extruded text that behaves like
all other objects. Seems like one of these two should do what you want. The
text object can have zero thickness.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "time" display, but presumably you know
about the graphing option.
