admesh 0.98.2

Python bindings for ADMesh, STL maipulation library

This module provides bindings for the ADMesh library. It lets you manipulate 3D models in binary or ASCII STL format and partially repair them if necessary.

Installation

First, you’ll need to install the ADMesh library. This release is designed for ADMesh 0.98. Follow the instructions there. Also, you’ll need Cython. Then you can install this as usual with one of the following:

./setup.py install
python3 setup.py install # for Python 3
pip install admesh # install directly from PyPI

In case your ADMesh library is located in non-standard location, you’ll have to tell the compiler and linker where to look:

LDFLAGS='-L/path/to/library' CFLAGS='-I/path/to/header' ./setup.py install

Usage

Use the Stl class provided.

from admesh import Stl
stl = Stl('file.stl')
help(stl) # observe the available methods

Note that all ADMesh functions start with stl_ prefix and the methods do not. Also note that not all ADMesh functions are provided, because some would require more complicated approach and are not considered worthy. In case you are missing some functions, create a new issue.
