install

pip install aocutils

Dependencies

aocutils depends on OCC >=0.16 and scipy. The examples require wx>=2.8 (or another backend (minor code modifications required)). These requirements cannot be satisfied through pip. Please see the table below for instructions on how to satisfy the requirements.

package	version	Comment
OCC	>=0.16.	See pythonocc.org or github.com.tpaviot/pythonocc-core for instructions or conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/dlr-sc pythonocc-core
scipy	latest	Simplest solution is conda install scipy or a full Anaconda distribution
wx	>=2.8	See wxpython.org for instructions

Goal

The goal of the aocutils package is to simplify some frequently used operations made in PythonOCC.

Versions

aocutils version and target PythonOCC version

aocutils version	PythonOCC version
0.1.*	0.16.2

Examples

The examples are in the examples folder at the Github repository (https://github.com/floatingpointstack/aoc-utils).

The wx backend (wxPython) backend is used for the examples that display a UI. You may easily change this behaviour to use pyqt4 or PySide by changing the backend in the call to init_display().
