What a drag?

What is viz.drag() supposed to do? When I run

duck = viz.add('duck.wrl')
duck.translate(0,1.5,4)
viz.grab(viz.Mouse,duck)

the duck moves with the mouse but doesn't stay under the cursor
as one might expect if it were being dragged.

PS - Is Vizard compatible with Vista?

The viz.grab() command is not meant to be used for dragging objects with the mouse. Look at the tutorial_grab.py script in the [Vizard30]\tutorial\link directory for an example. It's mostly used when you are doing some sort of hand tracking and you want to simulate grabbing an object.

viz.grab() with the mouse makes sense if the object you are grabbing is on the screen.

Code:
import viz
viz.go()


screenText = viz.addText('GrabME', viz.SCREEN)
s = 1
screenText.scale(s,s,s)
screenText.setPosition(.5, .5)

grabLink = None

def onMouseDown(button):
	global grabLink
	if grabLink:
		#in case we missed mouse up event
		grabLink.remove()
	grabLink = viz.grab( viz.Mouse, screenText )

viz.callback(viz.MOUSEDOWN_EVENT,onMouseDown)


def onMouseUp(button):
	global grabLink
	grabLink.remove()
	grabLink = None

viz.callback(viz.MOUSEUP_EVENT,onMouseUp)
