1 | SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS |
---|
2 | |
---|
3 | Python, with Pmw must be installed to use pmesh. Read the |
---|
4 | starting.html file that comes with pmw with regrads to how it is |
---|
5 | installed.(quick install advice: install pmw in the |
---|
6 | python2.2/site-packages dir) (Python and pmw are in the downloads |
---|
7 | directory) |
---|
8 | |

9 | INSTALLATION COMMANDS, FOR LINUX |

---|
11 | This is necessary to complite triangle for using pmesh graphically and |
---|
12 | the pmesh.mesh script. |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | To build triangle, as root; |
---|
15 | python setup.py install |
---|
16 | |
---|
17 | To build the python package, as a user; |
---|
18 | python setup.py install --prefix=~ |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | This will create a python directory, off the users home directory. |
---|
21 | Add the path of this directory into your .bashrc |
---|
22 | for example; |
---|
23 | export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib/python2.2/site-packages:"${PYTHONPATH}" |
---|
24 | another example; |
---|
25 | export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib64/python2.3/site-packages:"${PYTHONPATH}" |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | INSTALLATION COMMANDS, FOR WINDOWS |
---|
28 | To compile using Microsoft Visual c++, |
---|
29 | python setup.py install |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | To compile using mingw, |
---|
32 | python setup.py build -cmingw32 |
---|
33 | python setup.py install |
---|
34 | |
---|
35 | Note for this to work mingw has to be installed. Plus move |
---|
36 | the file libpython23.a into the python\libs directory. If |
---|
37 | 'install' does not work move the triang.pyd file manually. |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | GENERAL RUNNING |
---|
40 | To run all tests Harnesses; |
---|
41 | python TestRunner.py |
---|
42 | |
---|
43 | To run pmesh; |
---|
44 | python pmesh.py |
---|
45 | |

46 | INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PMESH |
---|
47 | |
---|
48 | Pmesh will let the user select various modes. The current |
---|
49 | allowable modes are vertex or segment. The mode describes what sort |
---|
50 | of object is added or selected in response to mouse clicks. When |
---|
51 | changing modes any prior selected objects become deselected. |
---|
52 | |
---|
53 | In general the left mouse button will add an object and the right |
---|
54 | mouse button will select an object. A selected object can de deleted |
---|
55 | by pressing the the middle mouse button (scroll bar). |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | NOTES |
---|
58 | I have examples of running triangle in |
---|
59 | nautilus /home/duncan/MeshGen/triangle_old |

---|
61 | CREATING A PMESH EXECUTABLE |
---|
62 | |
---|
63 | There is a package called py2exe which can take a Python script and |
---|
64 | package it up along with any other scripts it imports and a Python |
---|
65 | interpreter into a single .exe. It will also find any DLLs your script |
---|
66 | depends on and copy them too. |
---|
67 | |
---|
68 | The packaging process: |
---|
69 | |
---|
70 | |
---|
71 | 1)Install py2exe. This only needs to be done once on a machine. |
---|
72 | |
---|
73 | 2)Make a static version of Pmw. Pmesh uses a package called Pmw which |
---|
74 | normally dynamically loads pieces of itself as needed. This doesn't |
---|
75 | work with py2exe, so we need to fix it. You'll only need to do this |
---|
76 | once; if you make a change to your script and |
---|
77 | repackage you can skip this step. |
---|
78 | |
---|
79 | cd to c:\python22\lib\site-packages\Pmw\Pmw_1_1\bin. (Assuming python |
---|
80 | is installed in the default c:\python22; change the paths if you |
---|
81 | installed Python somewhere else. |
---|
82 | |
---|
83 | run "python bundlepmw.py |
---|
84 | c:\python22\lib\site-packages\Pmw\Pmw_1_1\lib". This will create a |
---|
85 | file called "Pmw.py" in the current directory. |
---|
86 | |
---|
87 | copy "Pmw.py" to your main script directory. |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | copy "..\lib\PmwBlt.py" and "..\lib\PmwColor.py" to your main script |
---|
90 | directory, too. |
---|
91 | |
---|
92 | 3) Do the command "python exesetup.py py2exe" This will create a dist directory with the pmesh executable. |
