Thanks for the kind words. It would be nice if someone would incorporate the little patch to cell.py to support this directly. It would be cool if the build process for this were easier so others could also have a mayavi enabled sage. I am not sure what the status of that was, I believe Jaap and Ondrej were working that out. > I noticed that, at least with Freewrl, there didn't seem to be an easy > way of rotating the object in the above demo.

I couldn't find something for panning the camera. The trouble with the rotation is that the center of the rotation always seems to be at (0,0,0) which causes the funny interactionr. I wrote to John Stewart regarding fixing this a day or so ago and haven't heard back. cheers, prabhu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
