Nope, you'd have to make a poly line which was the wire frame, but it would then rotate and such with the rest of the model. Essentially you would, for each primitive, have a wire-frame and a volumetric version, and keep one of the two visible (with the other invisible) at all times.

Now POV-ray _will_ create beautiful pictures, but the texturing, shading, and lighting control that POV-ray gives you exceeds that of VPython. You could use VPython to get you model built and view- point placed, and the tweak the POV-ray code to get pretty output. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
