[Visualpython-users] Color / Intensity Question

[<Do...@ao...>]

If I specify the color of an object in the RGB format.  Now
suppose further that I have a specified ambient light in the
scene.  If I raise the ambient light in the scene, the object
gets brighter.  Is the signal in the RG and B channels the same
for the brighter object.  Does the additonal brightness end
up as some scaling factor on another channel?

Related question.  If I specify the graphics height and width
to be a certain size, does that include the border around the
scene?  Can that border be turned off?

Thanks in advance,
Wayne (notso) Keen

I don't know the answer to your question about the effect of ambient light 
on the RGB values, but I can say that there isn't currently a mechanism in 
Visual to remove the border of a window. Tests show that the height and 
width include the borders, and that for very small windows (around 100 
pixels in height or width) there seems to be some minimum imposed, so that 
a window with small width and height may be more than one-half the size of 
a window whose width and height are specified to be twice that.
