Re: [Visualpython-users] Importing/Mouse Events

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

See the VPython documentation, both at the web site and accompanying the 
application.

Unfortunately at present mouse interactions are not nearly complete. All 
you can get is current mouse position, and clicks for the left button. This 
obviously should be generalized to include the right button, and being able 
to interrogate the current state (up/down) for both buttons.

Also, it seems desirable to change the default navigation options so as not 
to use left down for zoom but something else (say CTRL left down). I 
observe that most people are disconcerted to have to drag with the mouse 
button up -- no other applications work that way. (To everyone: do you have 
a better suggestion than CTRL left down for zoom?)

I'm not sure about keypresses.....

One thing I've done in some of my programs is make a button to click on, 
using a sphere or box with a label.
