New VPython for Windows at http://vpython.org; Linux/Unix/Mac OSX coming
soon.
Thanks to Hugh Fisher of Australia for submitting a patch to permit setting
scene.fullscreen = 1
in which case the graphics window fills the entire screen. Because there
is no close box in this case (at least on Windows), making it difficult
to get out of the program, I added code so that pressing ESCAPE closes
the window. It might be better if this were conditioned on fullscreen
mode, but I didn't immediately see how to arrange this.
Fisher also provided a patch to fix up keyboard key names on Linux/Unix
to be like those on Windows.
This is an important milestone in the development of VPython, as
Fisher's submission of patch files represents the first addition to
Visual by someone not at Carnegie Mellon or North Carolina State University.
Small bonus by popular request: color.orange is now available,
equivalent to (1, 0.5, 0).
Documentation also updated.
