This directory contains the Gmsh Python tutorials, written using the Gmsh Python
API.
To run the Python tutorials, you need the Gmsh dynamic library and the Python
module (`gmsh.py'). These can be either obtained
- using `pip install --upgrade gmsh', which will download the binary Software
Development Kit (SDK) from the Gmsh website and install the necessary files
automatically.
- by downloading the SDK for your operating system from the Gmsh website,
uncompressing the gmsh*-sdk.* archive and adding the "lib" directory to
PYTHONPATH. For example, if you are currently in the root directory of the
uncompressed SDK:
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:${PWD}/lib
- by compiling the Gmsh source code. Follow these steps in the top-level
directory of the Gmsh source code:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DENABLE_BUILD_DYNAMIC=1 ..
make
make install
cd ..
Add the installation directory (by default /usr/local/lib) to PYTHONPATH, e.g.
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/local/lib
You can then run e.g. "python t1.py"
For other Python API examples, see the `demos/api' directory.
