-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-4194 2011-03-27 18:44:28 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python-visual Product : Fedora 13 Version : 5.61 Release : 1.fc13 URL : http://vpython.org Summary : 3D Programming Description : Visual Python makes it easy to create navigable 3D displays and animations, even for those with limited programming experience. Because it is based on Python, it also has much to offer for experienced programmers and researchers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update doesn't require Polygon and ttfquery to display most things in vpython. Without those modules, the following is now working: """ The Polygon module is not installed, so the text and extrusion objects are unavailable. The ttfquery and/or FontTools modules are not installed, so the text object is unavailable. """ Notes from upstream about this update: """ With the new VPython 5.61 available at vpython.org you can drag the mouse across a graph and see crosshairs with the (x,y) value of the crosshair position, to make it possible to read locations accurately off the graph. No change is needed to existing programs to get this behavior. If you use the controls module (buttons, sliders, menus), you no longer need to call interact() inside a loop. For backward compatibility the interact() function is still present but now does nothing. A long-standing inconsistency in the label object has been fixed. The background of a label object's box is now by default the same as scene.background. You can also set the label's background color. There are bug fixes to materials.bricks, thanks to Kadir Haldenbilen, and a bug fix to the machinery that lets VPython run even if the Polygon and font modules are unavailable (though in this case you can't use extrusion or text objects). """ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
