VPython users:
I'm auditioning 3D graphics libraries, and need to demonstrate VPython
showing an Archimedian Solid. I can't find an examples on the net; what's the
most rudimentary one possible?

VPython users:
I'm auditioning 3D graphics libraries, and need to demonstrate VPython
grafted into a Frame. The rest of our UI is Tkinter (and uses
multidimensional data), and a window floating over it revealing this data
would damage the user's experience. I can't find an examples on the net; so
(once again ;-) what's the most rudimentary one possible?

This is only an educated guess, but I don't think it's possible to put a Visual display into a Tkinter window, because Visual uses OpenGL for its graphics.

[Why is this list server set so Reply goes to individuals instead of the list? That is so lame!!] Bruce Sherwood sez: > This is only an educated guess, but I don't think it's possible to put a > Visual display into a Tkinter window, because Visual uses OpenGL for its > graphics. PyOpenGL does it via TOGL. The ideal library for us would have all VPython's features, the ability to just render into a Tk window and eat user inputs, and an easy pass-thru straight to PyOpenGL. Yes, I know VPython wraps OpenGL directly. My problem is I have colleagues who are too smart for their own good; they will cheerfully code some complex geometric display using raw PyOpenGL calls in hideously long functions, not recognizing Assembler for what it is. I want to support their efforts, but I also want objects! -- Phlip http://www.greencheese.org/PhilosophyBrethrenThree -- Friends don't let friends use Closed Source software -- |

VPython wraps Gtk and gtkglarea, so this appears problematic. I will now be
Googling for such inanities as "put a Gtk widget into a Tk window".

Here ya go:
from visual import frame, rate, convex
points = ( (0, 0.771, 0.257), (0.727, 0.257, -0.257), (
0.364, 0.514, -0.514), (0, 0.257, 0.771), (
-0.364, 0.514, 0.514), (-0.364, -0.514, -0.514), (
0, -0.771, 0.257), (-0.727, -0.257, 0.257), (
0.364, 0.514, 0.514), (0.727, -0.257, -0.257), (
0.727, 0.257, 0.257), (0, 0.257, -0.771), (
0.727, -0.257, 0.257), (-0.364, 0.514, -0.514), (
-0.727, 0.257, 0.257), (0.364, -0.514, -0.514), (
-0.727, -0.257, -0.257), (0, 0.771, -0.257), (
0, -0.771, -0.257), (-0.727, 0.257, -0.257), (
0, -0.257, -0.771), (0.364, -0.514, 0.514), (
-0.364, -0.514, 0.514), (0, -0.257, 0.771), )
f = frame()
a = convex(color = (0.9,0.1,0.8), frame = f)
for t in points:
a.append(pos = t)
while 1:
rate(100)
f.rotate(angle=0.01)
Next question - can we make it glass? ;-)

Nice polyhedron. You can improve the appearance by inserting this line just before the while: a.display.autoscale = 0 Without it, with this particular solid, Visual's attempt to autoscale is incorrectly making small adjustments to the camera position. Nope, no glass yet. Transparency and real time are somewhat incompatible and require a major restructuring of Visual. Bruce Sherwood |
