===== VPython ===== | ===== VPython ===== | ||
+ | VPython is built from the Python programming language. It adds some features that were traditionally difficult to have Python do. With very little code, VPython can: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * create visual objects in 3 dimensions, | ||
+ | * animate the motion of objects, and | ||
+ | * move the visualization around with mouse interactions | ||
+ | |||

===== PhysUtil ===== | ===== PhysUtil ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | PhysUtil is a module for VPython that makes it simpler to create highly visual simulations. With very little code, PhysUtil lets you: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * generate motion maps | ||
+ | * make timers | ||
+ | * plot graphs, and {{: | ||
+ | * import CSV data | ||
