codelink 0.0.8

Node-based visual programming environment

Codelink

Codelink is a node-based visual programming environment that can be easily and flexibly integrated into PySide2 applications as a widget. With Codelink, functions (so-called nodes) can be logically linked to each other via wires, as in flowcharts, to create directed node graphs that can be used to perform complex calculations or control other programs. A main application area is node-based modeling of 3D geometries with the parametric CAD software FreeCAD.

It provides:

• customizable nodes, sockets and data types
• framing and commenting nodes
• sub-graphs and group nodes
• socket options
• validation node connections (links)
• full undo/redo implementation
• framework for node developer
• easy integration in PySide2 applications
• made for FreeCAD

Installation

Binary wheels for codelink are available on PyPI.

pip install codelink

Run

After installing Codelink via PyPI start your Python interpreter and run the following commands:

>>> import codelink.path_loader
>>> from codelink.app import main
>>> main()

If you want to run Codelink from within FreeCAD, execute the following commands in the integrated Python interpreter:

>>> import codelink.path_loader
>>> from codelink.app_fc import main
>>> main()
