PLASM (Programming LAnguage for Solid Modeling)

Plasm is a 'design language' for geometric and solid parametric design, developed by the CAD Group at the Universities 'La Sapienza' and 'Roma Tre' in Italy. See also: http://www.plasm.net/

cpython

Create a virtual environment:

python -m pip install virtualenv
python -m venv .venv

Activate the virtual environment.

On Windows:

.\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
python -m pip install numpy PyOpenGL 

on other platforms:

source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install numpy PyOpenGL 

Install pyplasm:

python -m pip install --upgrade pyplasm

Test pyplasm:

python -c "from pyplasm import *; VIEW(CUBOID([1,1,1]))"

Conda

Create a conda environment:

conda create -y -n my-env -c conda-forge python=3.9 numpy pyopengl

Activate the environment:

conda activate my-env

Install pyplasm:

conda install -c scrgiorgio -y pyplasm 

Test

Simple cuboid:

python3 -c "from pyplasm import *; VIEW(CUBOID([1,1,1]))"

Developers only

To compile pyplasm, .github/workflows/build.yml directory and resources/scripts

To push new tag:

./resources/scripts/new-tag.sh

For macosx/conda/arm64 you need to compile manually (since GitHub actions does not yet support it):

export ANACONDA_TOKEN=<your-value-here>
export GIT_TAG=<your-value-here>  
export PYTHON_VERSION=3.8  # 3.9 3.10 3.11
./resources/scripts/conda.macos.sh
