Engeom (Python Bindings)
This site has the documentation for the Python bindings of the engeom library.
The engeom library is a Rust library for 2D and 3D engineering geometry, with a specific focus on metrology applications. The Python bindings provide a way to use some of the library's functionality in Python, with a reasonably similar interface to the Rust library.
The bindings are built using pyo3 and maturin and engeom is compiled as a self-contained extension library, so the python module is the only thing which needs to be installed on an interpreter for everything to work. It is available for Python versions >=3.8, for Windows/Linux/macOS, and on most common 64-bit architectures.
Quick Overview
The engeom Python library has a few general feature sets:
- 2D and 3D geometric primitives (points, vectors, planes, circles/arcs, line segments, transformation matrices, etc) which can be used to represent and perform basic geometric operations through a simple and consistent interface.
- More complicated entities like 3D triangle meshes, 2D and 3D polylines, and 3D point clouds, with common operations like intersections, projections, distance queries, transformations, etc.
- Some basic fitting and alignment algorithms for 2D and 3D data
- Helper functions for plotting and visualization to assist in use of the
matplotlibandpyvistalibraries.
Installation
The Python bindings can be installed using pip:
