<p>Nstandish3: </p> <hr /> <div>Created by Natalie Standish<br /> <br /> <br /> ==The Main Idea==<br /> <br /> The main idea of this page is to serve as an aid for future physics students in writing python code during lab. Python, especially for students who are not very experienced with coding, can be a little confusing and sometimes stressful. This page should help give students the information that they would have to look up outside of the lab instructions but all in one place so that they can focus on the physics aspect of the course and not take too much time worrying about the coding in lab.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Starting Out===<br /> <br /> These are the first two lines of code that you should put into every one of the codes we have in this class:<br /> <br /> from __future__ import division<br /> <br /> from visual import *<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Making Basic Objects==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vectors===<br /> vector = vector(x,y,z)<br /> ===Spheres===<br /> sphere = sphere(pos=POS, color=color.COLOR, radius=RADIUS )<br /> POS: a vector giving the sphere location<br /> COLOR: Options can be found on http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/named_colors.html<br /> RADIUS: The radius of the sphere (usually given by the lab instructions)<br /> ===Arrows===<br /> arrow = arrow(pos=POS, axis=AXIS color=color.COLOR)<br /> POS: where the head of the arrow is to be placed<br /> AXIS: the line that we want the axis to go along (generally some position - * position)<br /> COLOR: Options can be found on http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/named_colors.html<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Connectedness==<br /> VPython is an important tool in PHYS 2211 and PHYS 2212 because it is able to take a very abstract concept and give a visual explanation to the student. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> Are there related topics or categories in this wiki resource for the curious reader to explore? How does this topic fit into that context?<br /> <br /> ===Further reading===<br /> <br /> Books, Articles or other print media on this topic<br /> <br /> ===External links===<br /> Phython colors: http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/named_colors.html<br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> This section contains the the references you used while writing this page<br /> http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/named_colors.html<br /> <br /> [[Category:Which Category did you place this in?]]<br /> n?</div>
