python + mayavi codebase for visualizing optimization problem in Geometry Processing / Archtectural Geometry

This project was initially developed by Davide Pellis ([email protected]).

Using Anaconda to install every package.

1. Download Anaconda

2. Open Anaconda Prompt
```
$ conda create -n geo 
$ conda activate geo
$ conda install mayavi traits traitsui qt pyqt vtk scipy spyder 
$ conda install -c haasad pypardiso
```
3. Open Anaconda, under "geo" environment open Spyder

Once above installation failed because of versions conflict, then try below installations:

```
$ conda create -n geo python=3.6
$ conda activate geo
$ pip install numpy scipy
$ pip install python-vtk
$ pip install mayavi --no-cache
$ conda install -c haasad pypardiso
$ conda install pyface
```

If you want to test how it works, just try python files in geometrylab/test: ex. run paneling.py, then a GUI window will be opened. You can add waterever you like for the settings of optimization and visualization.

More implementation architecture can refer to the DOS project, which is based on this codebase.
