xeopy is a library which allows to create xeokit scenes using Python.
xeopy is fully written in Python.
It is currently a proof-of-concept prototype. Use on your own risk.
The scope, namings and structure of it is changing rapidly, that's why it's not published as a PIP package right now.
xeokit itself is a web programming toolkit for AEC graphics. Find more here: https://xeokit.io/
Right now you can control some things regarding:
- Box
- Mesh
- Sphere
- VectorText
- CameraSettings
- WebIFCLoaderPlugin
- XKTLoaderPlugin
- Viewer
- SectionPlanes
I'm open to hear suggestion regarding what should be added. Please open an issue here and let me know! :)
You will find example files here: https://github.com/xeokit/xeopy/tree/master/xeopy/tests/examples
- Clone this repository and configure Python interpreter
- Run one of the example .py files -> it should generate html file
- Run generated html file on localhost. Some IDEs (such as PyCharm) will let you do it with one click of a button (for PyCharm just open generated html file and click web-browser logo).
There is no yet PyPi package published, as it is a prototype.
xeopy concept is really simple: underneath it creates an html file filled with JS code which uses Xeokit. Later you can open such html file and see the results.
Find the license here: https://github.com/xeokit/xeopy/blob/master/LICENSE.md
After clone it's good to create a venv (virtual environment).
In Pycharm you can do it like this:
Idea is that each small Python object should represent in str a tiny slice of JS code.
All these objects can be later put into content property of Xeokit object, so they can generate full code definition, if put in proper order.
You can find and run unit tests inside the project here: https://github.com/xeokit/xeopy/tree/master/xeopy/tests/unit_tests
To run these tests you will also need to install pytest library.
In Pycharm you can run all the tests by right-clicking the unit_tests folder and clicking to run all tests.
You can also install coverage package to see code coverage.
In Pycharm it's Run -> Run 'Python tests in unit_tests' with Coverage
