I have been checking out the version 5.0 documentation... Very nice.
It took me a little while to gain access to it because the IDLE help
menu was not defined for Vpython docs, just Python docs.
Easy enough to fix with IDLE menu Options/configure
IDLE/general/Additional Help Sources/
then find /python25/Lib/site-packages/visual/Docs/index.html
Unfortunately my 'new' computer has a rather old graphics card, a
Radeon X1100 that only has PS2.0!
Still, I can see the opacity in action and light sources work well!
I noticed you have fixed the bug in userspin and userzoom controls so
they are no longer able to defeat one another, and you have placed a
boundary on spinning over the axis, eliminating that strange spin reversal.
I can see a new Solar System program evolving with Points() and
materials.emissive methods:)
Excellent!
