pyvcad-rendering 1.0.0

Prototype Qt/VTK renderer for pyvcad models.

pyvcad-rendering

Prototype Python bindings that bring OpenVCAD (pyvcad) geometry to a Qt/VTK viewport. The library is currently pre-alpha and ships with placeholder implementations that outline how the viewer will be structured.

Installation

pip install pyvcad-rendering

Note The dependency graph pulls in pyvcad, vtk, and PySide6. These packages can be heavy and may require system-level prerequisites. Please review the upstream projects for platform specific notes.

Quickstart

from pyvcad_rendering import Render

# Obtain or construct a pyvcad model somewhere in your application
vcad_shape = build_my_vcad_shape()

renderer = Render()
context = renderer(vcad_shape)

# The current scaffold raises NotImplementedError because the VTK scene hookup
# is pending. Once implemented, a Qt window will appear and stay responsive for
# as long as the application event loop runs.
context.app.exec()

Upcoming work will flesh out dedicated modules for scene translation, Qt/VTK widgets, and convenience components for embedding the viewer inside existing OpenVCAD tools.
