pyShiva

The pyShiva project is an experiment in bringing lightning fast high quality 2d graphics to python via the pyshiva module. It aims to provide a simple vector-based API on top of the OpenGL-powered ShivaVG library.

Demo

This is how easy it is to write a complete pyShiva program!

#
# Rose Curves Demo
#

# Import the python module
import pyshiva as ps
import math, random

# Create a window with the title "Rose Curves"
w = ps.Window(title = "Rose Curves")

all_rects = list()

# Create 1000 squares with different colors
for i in range(1000):
	r = random.random()
	a = abs(math.cos(i))*0.5
	side_length = abs(math.sin(i))*50
	r = ps.Rect(0,0,side_length,side_length,(r,math.sin(i),math.cos(i),a))
	w.add(r) # Add the rectangles to the window...
	all_rects.append(r) # and keep track of them with a list

k = 0.25
while w.is_open():
	t = w.s_since_open()*2 # Use a scaled time since program start as the parametric time value
	radius = abs(math.sin(w.s_since_open()))
	if radius < 0.01: # Every time the curve collapses...
		k = random.random() # Randomize the k value to change the type of the curve
	# Place every rectangle along a rose curve, offset by its index
	for (i,r) in enumerate(all_rects):
		r.x = radius*math.cos(k*(t+i))*math.sin(t+i)*w.width/2+w.width/2
		r.y = radius*math.sin(k*(t+i))*math.sin(t+i)*w.height/2+w.height/2

	# Update the screen
	w.refresh()

##Status

Currently under heavy development.

##Full Documentation and Implementation Spec

Read it here. You can edit if if you are a collaborator.

##Compiling ShivaVG and GLFW on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev

cd glfw-2.7.7
make x11

sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev # Required for the examples in ShivaVG
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev # Required for the examples in ShivaVG
sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev libxi-dev
sudo apt-get install g++ # Currently required until the CMake system is improved

cd ..

cd ShivaVG
cmake .
make

##Building the python wrapper on Ubuntu

Without this, you won't be able to run the python demos, make your own projects, or contribute to pyShiva's development.

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install cython

cd wrapper
python setup.py install

##Testing the python wrapper

This demo creates animated circles in a flower-like arrangement.

cd wrapper
python rose_curves2.py
