pypho 0.0.4

Interactive photogrammetric design for geological objects

PyPho

This repository provides a Python package dedicated to photogrammetric design called PyPho.
Notebooks for testing and using pypho online are provided in a twin repository: PyPho_notebooks

Development

Current version: 0.0.4
Main repository for PyPho is at: GitHub/PyPho

Dependencies

PyPho primarilly depends on the incredible pyvista package for the interactive scenes and 3D visualisation.
Pyvista in turns relies on trame and interfaces vtk for this.
Note that trame comes with a main package, but requires companion packages to be installed as well to support the various backends.

Some computational aspects such as rotations are imported from scipy
and dataframes manipulations rely on pandas.
Note that numpy is also used, but should be already installed as a dependence of pandas.

Please refer to the pyproject.toml file for a complete list of requirements and versions.
Check the project.dependencies variable.

Environment and Install

It is recommended to create an environment to separate contexts when using python packages.
You can either create a venv or use a conda env.

Installation

See below for creating your environment if needed: Python Virtual Env

For installing PyPho simply run:

python -m pip install pypho

If you want additional dependencies installed, you can add [option].
Here are the available options:

• for notebook support (recommended for pypho):

  python -m pip install pypho[nb]
  

Python Virtual Env

• Make sure the python version installed complies with the specifications in the toml file
• Go to where you'd like to create the env: cd where_you_have_your_envs
• Create the environment: python -m venv .\pypho
• Activate it by running the activate script .\pypho\Scripts\activate
• then install pypho with pip: see installation

Conda Env

• Start your conda command line.
• Create and environment based on the desired python version: conda create -c conda-forge -n pypho python=3.11
• Activate it: conda activate pypho
• then install pypho with pip: see installation

See the conda documentation for a detailed view of environments: conda envs
