  1. Here's a fun #vpython #python #physics animation showing polarization at brewster's angle #physics

  2. In case you have not already heard, Bruce Sherwood is stepping down as lead developer for VPython and Web VPython. Steve Spickelmire will now fill that role.

  3. BEWARE: If you install VPython to use in Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab, note that the instructions at vpython.org do not state that Notebook will not be installed by default, only Lab. Jupyter Notebook must have been previously installed in the same environment OR you must install it manually. I hope this will be corrected soon.

  4. Just stumbled onto this playlist showing how to visualize tensors, specifically F𝝁𝝂, the electromagnetic field tensor. Looks like the animation was made with manim but I bet it could be done in (Web) VPython.

  5. From Matt Craig: “I'm happy to announce that vpython 7.6.5 has been released. This release fixes a number of issues. Details are available at github.com/vpython/vpython-jup

    Install with either

    pip install vpython==7.6.5

    or

    conda install -c vpython 7.6.5

    “If you run into any issues please let us know at github.com/vpython/vpython-jup

  6. A reminder from Bruce Sherwood that VPython currently does not work with Python 3.11, but that is expected to change soon. The current module works with Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10.

  7. From Bruce Sherwood:

    “Ruth Chabay has updated the VPython documentation for the new group option. In the Help, use the search option to find "group", or go directly to

    glowscript.org/docs/VPythonDoc

    The new group feature is not yet available in the vpython module used with installed Python.”

  8. From Bruce Sherwood:

    “Thanks to major help from Steve Spicklemire, plus useful comments by Ruth Chabay, there is a new feature in Web VPython (not yet available in the vpython module for installed Python). You can now create a "group" and place objects in that group. You can then move all the grouped objects together, with a single statement. In addition to moving the group, you can rotate the group, make all the objects invisible or visible, or change the colors of the objects.”

  9. From Bruce Sherwood just now:

    “Many thanks to Ruth Chabay for creating much better, searchable VPython documentation!

    (It is possible that you might need to clear the browser cache to get the Help.)”

  10. In Web VPython, the helix object has a new feature. You can set the property ccw = True to get counterclockwise coils. Setting cow = False gives clockwise coils.

  11. Here is my #VPython model of the Ezra-Sabine jump

  12. Do you have a VPython or Web VPython project you would like to share in a workshop for TYC physics faculty? This is an open invitation to participate in the OPTYCs CPDW series of workshops. DM me if interested. You need not be TYC faculty to participate! OPTYCs is funded by NSF-DUE-2212807.

  13. Do you get a syntax error when you execute the following code in Chrome on Windows? Or do you get something like "run.js:76 Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('sandbox.glowscript.org') does not match the recipient window's origin ('glowscript.org')."

    Web VPython 3.2
    a = 3m
    print(a)

  14. The mandistudent package, part of the mandi LaTeX bundle (contains mandi.sty, mandi student.sty, and mandiexp.sty), lets you seamlessly incorporate Web VPython and VPython code in your documents. You can access source Web VPython code by clicking/tapping or scanning a QR code. (DISCLAIMER: I am the author and maintainer of the mandi bundle.)

  15. VPython is part of the innovative Matter & Interactions curriculum for introductory calculus-based physics by Chabay, Sherwood, and Titus. M&I incorporates computation from day one throughout the curriculum.

  16. This account will serve users of VPython for Jupyter Notebook and WebVPython (aka GlowScript). It is maintained by Joe Heafner (@heafnerj). It was created with the permission of VPython's creators and developers Bruce Sherwood and Ruth Chabay.

  17. Welcome to the new home for VPython and WebVPython! Please be patient as I get things organized.

  18. VPython and WebVPython (formerly known as GlowScript) now have a new home at @VPython so follow there. I maintained their relevant Avian feeds and moved them here under one handle. #ITeachPhysics #VPython

  19. Rhett Allain
    Can #ChatGPT make a #VPython program showing the orbital motion of the @ISS_Research? Note quite - but it got VERY close.
