# Track Generator

Simple generator to create tracks (ground textures for vehicle simulations) from parametric descriptions.

For example, the following parametric description of a track in XML will lead to the corresponding result:

Track definition (XML):


Output (SVG, optional PNG):


## Usage

Install via pip:

pip install track_generator

Run:

track_generator generate_track <TRACK_DEFINITION_FILE>

## Setup dev environment

### Clone project, setup venv and install requirements:

git clone [e-mail]:twyleg/track_generator.git cd track_generator/ python -m venv venv source venv/bin/acitvate.bash pip install -r requirements.txt

### Run with example track definition:

python track_generator/generator.py examples/simple_track_example

### Build software and binary distribution:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

### Deploy

TestPyPI:

python -m twine upload –repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

PyPi:

python -m twine upload dist/*

## Coordinate systems

Track generator uses a right hand side cartesian coorindate system internally. drawSvg on the other hand uses a left hand side cartesian coordinate system. This is important for internal operations but shouldn’t bother the user.
