What is axonometry?

axonometry is a scripting library to generate axonometric drawings. It implements axonometric projection operations common in the context of architectural representation. axonometry enables the exploration of three dimensional representation through the definition of projecitonal operations. Think of it as a tool for generative drawing art, oriented towards architectutral representation.

axonometry is the top of the iceberg of a PhD project at the AlICe laboratory. It is the result of a practical experimentations around questions related to the field of architectural representation, the role of computer graphics and drawing practices.

Check the documentation for a more thorough introduction to axonometry.

How does it work?

axonometry is basically a wrapper for compas geometry objects and produces SVG vector files with the help of vpype.

Examples

You don't like computers and just want an axonometry layout and continue drawing by hand:

import axonometry as axo
my_axo = axo.Axonometry(15,45)
my_axo.save_svg("new_drawing")

Installation

Detailed installation instructions are available in the latest documentation.

TL;DR:

• Python 3.12 is recommended, but axonometry is also compatible with Python 3.10 and 3.11.
• axonometry is published on the Python Package Index.

python -m pip install axonometry
