* Lua is a very simple language, which can be easily picked up. This and some partial application can be used to make some very nice DSLs.

Ex: do_something(obj) can be written as do_something. * Lua has a special syntax for function calls that pass an object. And have lua dsl fill in some arrays via C FFI. Currently everything is done in lua, but I'm planning to write the main loop (converting the object graph into meshes and the rendering) into Rust. * It should be faster than python, even without luajit.

* It can be embedded in the viewer, so the user doesn't have to install a separate distribution of libraries. Lua has a bunch of advantages even over python.

This discussion may be of interest to you, though it is not UI-based and none of the software has been open-sourced (yet): ĮDIT: Looks like Inkscape can do a few vaguely CAD-like things with 'live path effects', but it's by no means a proper constraint solver. I think the closest you can get now is UI design software with constraint features, but that software isn't really made for free-form work like Illustrator/Inkscape. There are the CAD programs, like SolveSpace/AutoCad/QCAD, but they aren't really designed for illustration: you would have to constantly export the blueprint to style it. (If any startup people are looking for ideas, here's your million dollar opportunity.) I'd love a parametric vector (+ image) editor it's an unfilled niche. ℹ️About GitHub Wiki SEE, a search engine enabler for GitHub WikisĪs GitHub blocks most GitHub Wikis from search engines.I have also long desired something like this. Rotation is an issue, as TechDraw rotates the View on the Page and Drawing rotates the Part? doc.addObject('Drawing::FeaturePage','Page')ĭoc.Page.Template = App.getResourceDir()+'Mod/Drawing/Templates/A3_Landscape_ISO7200.svg'ĭoc.addObject('Drawing::FeatureViewPart','ViewX')ĭoc.addObject('Drawing::FeatureViewPart','ViewY')ĭoc.addObject('Drawing::FeatureViewPart','ViewZ')ĭoc.addObject('Drawing::FeatureViewPart','ViewIso') Views are manipulated through their properties. wf: this is probably a good place to implement CmdTechDrawExportPage

wf: believe this is almost equivalent to DrawViewSymbol with some Py code to get the SVG file from the OS. String = removeSvgTags(string) - Removes the opening and closing svg tagsĪnd other metatags from a svg code, making it embeddable` Project a shape and return the DXF representation as string. Project a shape and return the SVG representation as string. Project a shape and return the all parts of it. Project a shape and return the visible/invisible parts of it. wf: the various 'project' routines should move as is.

Python interface to the existing Drawing workbench: In App/AppDrawingPy.cpp:

DrawViewCollection - App/DrawViewCollectionPy.xml.

getChildViewNames() - get a list of the DrawViews in this ClipView.

removeView(DrawView) - Remove specified View to this ClipView.

addView(DrawView) - Add a View to this ClipView.

DrawViewSymbol - App/DrawViewSymbolPy.xml.

DrawViewDimension - App/DrawViewDimensionPy.xml.

DrawProjGroupItem - App/DrawProjGroupItemPy.xml.

getItemByLabel(string projectionType) - return specified Projection Item.

removeProjection(string projectionType) - Remove specified Projection Item from this Group.

addProjection(string projectionType) - Add a new Projection Item to this Group.

DrawProjGroup - App/DrawProjGroupPy.xml.

Geometr圜ount - Number of geometry in template.

ParametricTemplate - App/DrawParametricTemplatePy.xml.

getPageOrientation() - Return the orientation of this page.

getPageHeight() - Return the height of this page.

getPageWidth() - Return the width of this page.

addView(DrawView) - Add a View to this Page.

Should provide at least the level of control as existing Drawing's Python interface, and is eventually intended to provide the full level of control afforded through the FreeCAD GUI.Ĭurrently implemented in Python (doesn't include Properties): Notes on converting Drawing macros to TechDrawĬompatibilty Python interface to the TechDraw workbench: DrawViewSymbol may provide a basis for displaying Drawing module SVG. This wiki page is a place to put notes currently, but will hopefully evolve towards a proper API description.Įxamples of macros using basic TechDraw functionality are located here: SamplesĬurrently, the plan is to not preserve API compatibility between the old Drawing and the new TechDraw modules.
