gemmini 1.0.2

Python package for constructing and handling geometric objects

Gemmini

Python package for visualizing and manipulating diverse geometric shapes.

Gemmini provides 70+ geometry classes including common polygons, curves, and symbols. Built with numpy and matplotlib packages, it supports easy manipulation and illustration of geometry, while plenty of useful functions for mathematical analysis and 2D/3D transformation are also available.

Transformation

import gemmini as gm

f = gm.SunCross(s=9)
gm.plot((f), fill=True)

f.shatter((2, 4), rate=2)
gm.plot((f), fill=True)
gm.plot((f), show_area=True)

List of transformations

• Resizing - scale, scaleX, scaleY
• Position Shift - translate, translateX, translateY
• Rotation - rotate, rotateX, rotateY, rotateZ, rotate3D
• Symmetric Shift - flip, flipX, flipY, flipXY, flipDiagonal
• Distortion - skew, skewX, skewY, distort, focus, shatter
• Others - dot

Figure Visualization

Create a Canvas, on which your nice geometries will be drawn. Make a choice of color theme (default: light), canvas size, grid opacity, etc. You can plot either a single geometric object or multiple shapes altogether.

import gemmini as gm
import numpy as np

canva = gm.Canvas()

cluster_small = gm.Pointcloud2D(s=0.05, num_dot=10)
cluster_medium = gm.Pointcloud2D(s=0.1, num_dot=20)
cluster_large = gm.Pointcloud2D(s=0.2, num_dot=50)

canva.add((cluster_small, cluster_medium, cluster_large), show_center=True)
canva.plot()

Display Options

• fill - fill in the interior of the geometry
• show_edges - draw path enclosing the given geometry
• show_radius - display a radius vector and its length
• show_size - display a height/width of the geometry
• show_center - display (x, y) coordinates of the centroid
• show_area - display the area of the geometry
• show_class - display the class name ot the geometry

import gemmini as gm

canva = gm.Canvas(theme='horizon')

original = gm.IsoscelesTriangle(h=4, w=6)
figs = []

for i in range(6):
    f = original.copy()
    f.translate(8*(i%3), 8*(i//3))
    figs.append(f)

canva.add(figs[0], fill=True)
canva.add(figs[1], show_edges=True)
canva.add(figs[2], show_center=True)
canva.add(figs[3], show_radius=True)
canva.add(figs[4], show_size=True)
canva.add(figs[5], show_area=True)

canva.plot()

Requirements

• Python >= 3.7
• numpy >= 1.21
• scipy >= 1.7
• matplotlib >= 3.3

Work with Shapely

We added the simple way to convert geometry to a shapely object.

import gemmini as gm

from shapely import geometry
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

f = gm.Polygontile(s=4, v=5)
poly = geometry.Polygon(*f.coordSet())
print(poly.wkt)

POLYGON ((0.8980559531591708 1.2360679774997896, 0.9597258534760096 1.4258684144441638, ... ))

from shapely.plotting import plot_polygon

plot_polygon(poly)
