[Visualpython-users] Stereo update

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

There is a new Windows VPython installer for Python 2.2 at 
http://vpython.org that corrects an error in the stereo machinery which 
prevented stereo from being displayed. Thanks to Hugh Fisher for 
contributing the fix.

We have also changed the definition of how to invoke stereo. There are 
several different kinds of stereo: "active" with quad buffers, two for 
each eye, to be used with shutter glasses, "anaglyph" to be used with 
red-green glasses, etc. So instead of setting scene.stereo = 1 to invoke 
stereo, you now say scene.stereo = "active" to invoke active stereo. If 
you invoke a mode not yet implemented such as anaglyph, printing 
scene.stereo will show "no stereo".

No Unix/Linux update just yet.

Now that we're up to date on Python 2.2, I'll soon make a version for 
Python 2.3.
