[Visualpython-users] Background images...

[<jer...@in...>]

Gents, I am a "newbie" (with a long beard).
Perhaps I should have read more carefully the docs... 

Is there a way of filling the display space of a VP window with some
jpeg, or other image? 

Thanks.
If the "normal" answer is a plain "no", is it possible to hack the system
routines, i.e. did somebody do that?

What do you mean by filling? With beta version, you can map an image on a=20
surface object (only sphere and plans fomr the moment). Is it what you=20
need?

In the beta version (see "Recent developments" at vpython.org), in the 
example program stonehenge.py you'll see photos of flowers on walls, and 
in the "Contributed programs" section of vpython.org the program 
image.py shows some details about this.

In the production version of VPython there is no way to display an image.
