Visualization of multibody systems generated with PyDy.

Probably easiest to install the main dependencies from your package manager, e.g.:

$ apt-get python-numpy python-setuptools

Then download the source and install with setuptools (this will automatically install the latest version of SymPy):

$ python setup.py install

The Python tests require nose so get them with your package manager:

$ apt-get python-nose python-coverage

or pip:

$ pip install nose coverage

The tests can be run from the root directory with:

$ nosetests

And to see more detail with coverage, run:

$ nosetests -v --with-coverage --cover-package=pydy_viz

These are alternative ways to run the Python tests:

$ bin/test
$ python setup.py nosetests

For the Javascript tests the Jasmine and blanket.js libraries are used. Both of these libraries are included in pydy-viz with the source. To run the Javascript tests, go to the javascript library directory:

$ cd pydy_viz/static/js

Then run a simple HTTP Server with Python (the server is required due to some cross browser issues with blanket.js):

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Now visit http://localhost:8000/SpecRunner.html in a webgl compliant browser.

Requires:
