How can I change `Theta Resolution` and `Phi Resolution` of Sphere Glyphs in pypython? When I change them in the GUI and check the Python trace, these attributes don’t show up.

Here is what the trace provide:

```auto

# Properties modified on sphere1
sphere1.ThetaResolution = 80
sphere1.PhiResolution = 80

```

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to work. Note that I’m writing about Sphere glyphs, not a Sphere source.

```auto
glyph1 = Glyph()
glyph1.GlyphType = 'Sphere'
glyph1.ThetaResolution = 80 # AttributeError: Attribute ThetaResolution does not exist.
glyph1.PhiResolution = 80

```

```auto
glyph1.GlyphType.ThetaResolution = 80 
glyph1.GlyphType.PhiResolution = 80

```

Should do the trick. There is indeed a trace bug here.

That’s it! Thank you for your help.
