[Ctk-developers] Python wrapper

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Felix,

Thanks for kind compliment  and your interest in CTK :)

When configuring CTK, if you enable the following two options:

  CTK_BUILD_EXAMPLES
  CTK_ENABLE_Python_Wrapping

an example application named "ctkSimplePythonShell" will then be built.

Assuming you are unix-like platform, you could then simply run the
application using:

   ./bin/ctkSimplePythonShell

See enclosed screenshot for an illustration.

Currently, CTK objects and widgets are "wrapped" leveraging PythonQt, I am
not sure how it could be integrated with PySide or PyQt.

To learn more about PythonQt: https://github.com/commontk/PythonQt#readme

All steps together:

git clone git://github.com/commontk/CTK.git && \
mkdir CTK-build && \
cd CTK-build && \
cmake -DCTK_ENABLE_Python_Wrapping:BOOL=ON -DCTK_BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON
-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/home/jchris/Projects/QtSDK-1.2/Desktop/Qt/474/gcc/bin/qmake
../CTK && \
make -j4 && \
cd CTK-build && \
./bin/ctkSimplePythonShell


Then, within the console, you should be able to run the following command:

import ctk

w = ctk.ctkColorDialog()

w.show()

If running ccmake or cmake-gui, you could also display the list of advanced
options and enable the following one:

  CTK_LIB_Scripting/Python/Core_PYTHONQT_WRAP_QTCORE
CTK_LIB_Scripting/Python/Core_PYTHONQT_WRAP_QTGUI

You will then be able to run command like:

  import qt
  b = qt.QPushButton("Ciao")
  b.show()

There is also possibility of interfacing CTK PythonQt and VTK by enabling:

 CTK_LIB_Scripting/Python/Core_PYTHONQT_USE_VTK


Let me us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks
Jc
