Re: [Visualpython-users] how to visualize 3D surface?

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

One thing you could do is simply use curve to superimpose some 
"longitude" and "latitude" lines in the gyro2.py program, so that the 
trajectory of the end of the gyroscope axis would visibly be on a 
spherical surface.

Bruce gave me the advice that the motiton of a gyro is also an axample prog in vpython. thats true and it also works good there with leaving the trail by the figure axis...I just thought with that partial sphere it gonna look a little more nice and should help to understand the motion of the top...okay, if this problem is too heavy...but I still have one or more week to solve this problem till I will speak about my project in front of some co-students.
