Re: Fwd: Vpython -> define perspective.

Sorry to high jack this thread, but this might be a similar question.
Is there a way to specify sizes of things like curves in real space?
Like where the limits of the curve are fractions of the scene size in
pixels?

I'm looking to create axes for HS students that can be drawn across
the scene regardless of the size of the objects in the scene.

Thanks,
Danny
