[Visualpython-users] VPython 3.2.7

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

New VPython 3.2.7 for Windows and Linux (but not the Mac, which I don't 
yet know how to do). From the "Recent Developments" section of vpython.org:

2006-02-12 Version 3.2.7: Corrects a bug in sliders (visual.controls) in 
the case that the minimum value is nonzero. Improves the documentation 
on dragging objects with the mouse.

Re: [Visualpython-users] new attibute for sphere, sphere.name ? is it possible ?

[leau2001 <lea...@fr...>]

Hi all,

Is it not possible to make sphere have a new option : name

I know we uses name= sphere .....

But i'd prefer sphere ( option1..., .., name='texte')

i explain

I made 4 sphere, and i want to see sphere.name on a label when i click 
on a sphere.

thx

I wouldn't favor that, as the effect is easily achievable using label. 
You can even associate the label with the sphere. If you run the 
atttached routine you can click a sphere and see its name, click again 
to remove the name.

Yes it's works good,

But if you use a routine to make sphere automaticly, you can't do that
for all your created sphere, if you have juste 5 it's ok, but with 1000
it's hard...

Have a look on my program to see what i mean

but may be it's just a programmation problem... i m newbie on python ;)

Read up on creating you own functions in the Python tutorial.

Yes, in a sense.  When you instantiate any VPython renderable object,
any extra parameters you provide will be automatically added as
attributes of whatever you are creating.  So:

>>> x = sphere( name='texte')
>>> print x.name
'texte'

See also the display.getclick(), display.getevent() functions.  These
return a reference to the nearest (closest to the screen) VPython object
that was clicked (if any was below the mouse cursor).  You can then have
a label associated with each sphere, and control it's visibility when
you process the event.  If you wanted to always move the label and
sphere together around the screen, you can easily wrap them together in
a common frame.
