[Visualpython-users] Bitmaps in VPython

[Joel K. <jj...@ya...>]

By using the attached script, in which a module from
the Python Imaging Library is combined with VPython,
you can display a bitmap image on a rectangular grid
of VPython objects. Once the basic image is in place,
of course, you can use VPython's strong capabilities
for animation &c to produce a wide variety of visual
effects. As I attempted to indicate in the script's
comment lines, I suggest starting out with rather
small bitmaps until you see what kind of results you
get on your particular hardware.

If anyone else has been experimenting with similar
algorithms, I would be interested in seeing their
work. This class of programs would seem to offer a
broad range of potential benefits for education and
lots of other areas. Email if you have questions.
