pysciter specific documentation?
MrSassyBritches opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello! I am having trouble finding documentation for Pysciter. Is there Py-specific documentation or does the Sciter (C++) docs apply for Pysciter? I have been struggling to make a UI that updates with real time data from python. My python code reads serial data (list of floats), and I can statically plot in ANY framework, but how would one pass that data continuously to a JavaScript front end using Pysciter?
I have looked at the examples and got a little bit of an idea of how Pysciter works in general. But I would love to know/see how something like these examples could be implemented using python.
This one is particularly pretty! Just a big continuous graph, exactly what I need to create. :D
So, any examples or docs or blog posts that you think would point me in the right direction would be very much appreciated!
Hey.
First, most of C++ API applies to pysciter as well. There are some python-specific bits, however.
I believe, almost all pysciter API is covered by documentation which can be viewed with something like pydoc
or alternatives.
I've seen some online websites with auto generated documentation for pypi packages (including pysciter), but right now I can't find any.
but how would one pass that data continuously to a JavaScript front end using Pysciter?
Well, there are some ways. The most obvious is calling from Python a JavaScript/TiScript function with some data provided, and that script function would update the UI - aka a "push" method. Another way is to "pull" new data from Python side by calling a Python function from JS/TS.
You can use a chart library for drawing.
Also, on http://sciter.com/forums the author of Sciter provides more detailed and architecture related answers.
wonderful! that answers my question, thanks so much! :)
