Hi,
I wanted to ask if there had been any updates.
I saw @dgobbi mentioned autcompletion might be available in vtk 9. I used pip install vtk in my conda environment to get vtk==9.0.3.
But autocompletion for import vtk still wasn’t available in PyCharm, PyDev on Eclipse, nor on VsCode.
@ben.boeckel suggests using import vtkmodules, but this works only partially.
An example of it working,
Let’s look at the example from https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Python/GeometricObjects/Cone/ You being with import vtk and then call vtk.vtkConeSource()
Because you cannot call vtkmodules.vtkConeSource(), I had to google a bit.
This was relatively simple, I googled to find out that vtkNamedColors lived in vtkCommonColor then I called vtkmodules.vtkCommonColor.vtkNamedColors()
An example of it being unusable
Unfortunately, using vtkmodules I can’t find a lot of paths.
From the same example, https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Python/GeometricObjects/Cone/ , there is the line mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
But, I can’t find a vtkmodules equivalent. I tried vtkmodules.vtkPolyDataMapper() but that did not work.
I googled, again, to find where vtkPolyDataMapper lives.
I saw vtkPolyDataMapper lives in vtkMapper. I tried vtkmodules.vtkMapper and vtkmodules. vtkAbstractMapper3D but neither were autocompleted nor appeared to be a valid path so I’m not sure what an equivalent vtkmodules path is for mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
Is there autocompletion for vtk? If so, how can I set it up.
If I must use vtkmodules, how can I find equivalent paths between it and vtkmodules since vtkmodules doesn’t seem to own all the packages that vtk does.
I apologize if these are ignorant questions. I am a new user.
Thank you,
