[Visualpython-users] Update

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

At http://cil.andrew.cmu.edu/projects/visual you can download the Windows 
DLL zip file to get some bug fixes by

David Andersen: curve and convex now honor scene.foreground color

David Scherer: ring now autoscales correctly

Ari Heitner: get error message if you try to place an object in a frame 
that isn't in the object's display window

Thanks, guys!

Bruce Sherwood

P.S. The VPython package for Windows is also up to date, as is the 
VisualSource zip file.

[Visualpython-users] Update

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

Updates for Windows, and the Visual source code, at

	http://cil.andrew.cmu.edu/projects/visual

Ari Heitner modified the frame machinery to let you find the objects in a 
particular frame:

f = frame()
ball = sphere(frame=f)
bar = cylinder(frame=f)
for obj in f.objects:
    obj.color = color.red # make every object in the frame be red

This is in preparation for a larger enhancement Ari is working on, where 
you will be able to say things like "f.color = color.red" or "f.visible = 
0" and make all objects in the frame be red or invisible.

David Andersen compiled the changes for Windows.
