[Visualpython-users] faces texture don't use axis

[Antonio G. <aga...@gm...>]

Hi list,

I am trying create a very simple model based in triangles using the
faces/frame objects in Vpython,

I've tried put a texture onto my model, but always the system uses the axis
(1,0,0) as projection direction, and I can not select this direction of
projection as in box.

Is there any way to select this projection axis using the faces object?

Kind regards, and thank you for your great work.

No, there isn't an axis option with faces, but you can put a faces
object in a frame, build the faces object, then rotate the frame.

Well, my problem was that I was using a texture in faces object with a
mapping "rectangular/sign" and nothing appear when I tried to paint the
faces object, only blank/gray colors.

I solved using another mapping (just reading the materials.py in
~/site-packages/vis directory), the valid mapping list are: rectangular,
sign, spherical,top, bottom, front, left, right, back, cubic, hollow_box
and cylinder. Can I suggest put this list into the doc?

Thanks for pointing this omission from the documentation. Duly noted.
