xeopy = xeokit + Python (Work in progress project)

Description

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/

Features

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! :)

Example files

Examples

You will find example files here: https://github.com/xeokit/xeopy/tree/master/xeopy/tests/examples

How to run it

  1. Clone this repository and configure Python interpreter
  2. Run one of the example .py files -> it should generate html file
  3. 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.

How it works

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.

License

Find the license here: https://github.com/xeokit/xeopy/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Development

Setup

After clone it's good to create a venv (virtual environment).

In Pycharm you can do it like this:

Venv_pycharm

Architecture

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.

Unit tests

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.

Unittest_pycharm

You can also install coverage package to see code coverage.

In Pycharm it's Run -> Run 'Python tests in unit_tests' with Coverage

E2E tests for Xeokit examples itself

There is an endtoend_xeokit_tests folder where you can optionally build E2E test for Xeokit itself.

It uses Selenium to build test these things. To run it you need to place a geckodriver (0.34.0, https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) exactly where the .py file is located.

It will also require a proper version of browser installed.
