Module `cad_viewer_widget.widget`

This module is the Python part of the CAD Viewer widget

Classes

class AnimationTrack (path, action, times, values)

Defining a three.js animation track.

Parameters

path : string

The path (or id) of the cad object for which this track is meant. Usually of the form /top-level/level2/...

action : {"t", "tx", "ty", "tz", "q", "rx", "ry", "rz"}

The action type:

"tx", "ty", "tz" for translations along the x, y or z-axis
"t" to add a position vector (3-dim array) to the current position of the CAD object
"rx", "ry", "rz" for rotations around x, y or z-axis
"q" to apply a quaternion to the location of the CAD object

times : list of float or int

An array of floats describing the points in time where CAD object (with id path) should be at the location defined by action and values

values : list of float or int

An array of same length as times defining the locations where the CAD objects should be according to the action provided. Formats:

"tx", "ty", "tz": float distance to move
"t": 3-dim tuples or lists defining the positions to move to
"rx", "ry", "rz": float angle in degrees
"q" quaternions of the form (x,y,z,w) the represent the rotation to be applied
