Hi Dave,
I successfully ran your OccLib script (0.2). Here are my first feelings:
- The shapeTypeString(shapetype) function is very convenient and could
be added to the Topology module,
- The dumpTopology function is a good idea although it's a bit redundant
with existing WriteToString method of TopoDS_Shape (the one used for
pickling),
- Why don't you use the builtin wxDisplay.py?
- 'slice' is a python buildit type. It should not be used, in my
opinion, as a name for a method of the class 'Slicer' (line 218),
- you create a 'Point' class with a isSame method. I suggest you use the
builtin gp_Pnt2d class and the IsEqual() method, that actually do the
same thing:
""">>> help(P.IsEqual)
Help on method gp_Pnt2d_IsEqual in module OCC._gp:
gp_Pnt2d_IsEqual(...) method of OCC.gp.gp_Pnt2d instance
gp_Pnt2d_IsEqual(gp_Pnt2d self, gp_Pnt2d Other, Standard_Real
LinearTolerance) -> Standard_Boolean
"""
Is the produced SVG file readable with a SVG viewer? What is the next
step of your project?
Best Regards,
Thomas
