Freestyle Types (freestyle.types)

This module contains core classes of the Freestyle Python API, including data types of view map components (0D and 1D elements), base classes for user-defined line stylization rules (predicates, functions, chaining iterators, and stroke shaders), and operators.

Class hierarchy:

class freestyle.types.AdjacencyIterator

Class hierarchy: Iterator > AdjacencyIterator

Class for representing adjacency iterators used in the chaining process. An AdjacencyIterator is created in the increment() and decrement() methods of a ChainingIterator and passed to the traverse() method of the ChainingIterator.

__init__()

Default constructor.

__init__(brother)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:brother (AdjacencyIterator) – An AdjacencyIterator object.
__init__(vertex, restrict_to_selection=True, restrict_to_unvisited=True)

Builds a AdjacencyIterator object.

Base class for binary predicates working on Interface0D objects. A BinaryPredicate0D is typically an ordering relation between two Interface0D objects. The predicate evaluates a relation between the two Interface0D instances and returns a boolean value (true or false). It is used by invoking the __call__() method.

__init__()

Default constructor.

__call__(inter1, inter2)

Must be overload by inherited classes. It evaluates a relation between two Interface0D objects.

Parameters:
  • inter1 (Interface0D) – The first Interface0D object.

class freestyle.types.BinaryPredicate1D

Base class for binary predicates working on Interface1D objects. A BinaryPredicate1D is typically an ordering relation between two Interface1D objects. The predicate evaluates a relation between the two Interface1D instances and returns a boolean value (true or false). It is used by invoking the __call__() method.

__init__()

class freestyle.types.ChainingIterator

Class hierarchy: Iterator > ViewEdgeIterator > ChainingIterator

Base class for chaining iterators. This class is designed to be overloaded in order to describe chaining rules. It makes the description of chaining rules easier. The two main methods that need to overloaded are traverse() and init(). traverse() tells which ViewEdge to follow, among the adjacent ones. If you specify restriction rules (such as “Chain only ViewEdges of the selection”), they will be included in the adjacency iterator (i.e, the adjacent iterator will only stop on “valid” edges).

__init__(restrict_to_selection=True, restrict_to_unvisited=True, begin=None, orientation=True)

Builds a Chaining Iterator from the first ViewEdge used for iteration and its orientation.

Parameters:
  • restrict_to_selection (bool) – Indicates whether to force the chaining to stay within the set of selected ViewEdges or not.
  • restrict_to_unvisited (bool) – Indicates whether a ViewEdge that has already been chained must be ignored ot not.
  • begin (ViewEdge or None) – The ViewEdge from which to start the chain.
  • orientation (bool) – The direction to follow to explore the graph. If true, the direction indicated by the first ViewEdge is used.
__init__(brother)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:brother (ChainingIterator) –
init()

Initializes the iterator context. This method is called each time a new chain is started. It can be used to reset some history information that you might want to keep.

traverse(it)

Parameters:it (AdjacencyIterator) – The iterator over the ViewEdges adjacent to the end vertex of the current ViewEdge. The adjacency iterator reflects the restriction rules by only iterating over the valid ViewEdges.
Returns:Returns the next ViewEdge to follow, or None if chaining ends.

Any Interface1D is built upon ViewEdges, themselves built upon FEdges. Therefore, a curve is basically a polyline made of a list of SVertex objects. Thus, a CurvePoint is built by linearly interpolating two SVertex instances. CurvePoint can be used as virtual points while querying 0D information along a curve at a given resolution.

class freestyle.types.Operators

Class defining the operators used in a style module. There are five types of operators: Selection, chaining, splitting, sorting and creation. All these operators are user controlled through functors, predicates and shaders that are taken as arguments.

static bidirectional_chain(it, pred)

Builds a set of chains from the current set of ViewEdges. Each ViewEdge of the current list potentially starts a new chain. The chaining operator then iterates over the ViewEdges of the ViewMap using the user specified iterator. This operator iterates both using the increment and decrement operators and is therefore bidirectional. This operator works with a ChainingIterator which contains the chaining rules. It is this last one which can be told to chain only edges that belong to the selection or not to process twice a ViewEdge during the chaining. Each time a ViewEdge is added to a chain, its chaining time stamp is incremented. This allows you to keep track of the number of chains to which a ViewEdge belongs to.

Parameters:
  • it (ChainingIterator) – The ChainingIterator on the ViewEdges of the ViewMap. It contains the chaining rule.
  • pred (UnaryPredicate1D) – The predicate on the ViewEdge that expresses the stopping condition.
static bidirectional_chain(it)

The only difference with the above bidirectional chaining algorithm is that we don’t need to pass a stopping criterion. This might be desirable when the stopping criterion is already contained in the iterator definition. Builds a set of chains from the current set of ViewEdges. Each ViewEdge of the current list potentially starts a new chain. The chaining operator then iterates over the ViewEdges of the ViewMap using the user specified iterator. This operator iterates both using the increment and decrement operators and is therefore bidirectional. This operator works with a ChainingIterator which contains the chaining rules. It is this last one which can be told to chain only edges that belong to the selection or not to process twice a ViewEdge during the chaining. Each time a ViewEdge is added to a chain, its chaining time stamp is incremented. This allows you to keep track of the number of chains to which a ViewEdge belongs to.

Parameters:it (ChainingIterator) – The ChainingIterator on the ViewEdges of the ViewMap. It contains the chaining rule.
static chain(it, pred, modifier)

Builds a set of chains from the current set of ViewEdges. Each ViewEdge of the current list starts a new chain. The chaining operator then iterates over the ViewEdges of the ViewMap using the user specified iterator. This operator only iterates using the increment operator and is therefore unidirectional.

Parameters:
  • it (ViewEdgeIterator) – The iterator on the ViewEdges of the ViewMap. It contains the chaining rule.
  • pred (UnaryPredicate1D) – The predicate on the ViewEdge that expresses the stopping condition.
  • modifier (UnaryFunction1DVoid) – A function that takes a ViewEdge as argument and that is used to modify the processed ViewEdge state (the timestamp incrementation is a typical illustration of such a modifier).
static chain(it, pred)

Builds a set of chains from the current set of ViewEdges. Each ViewEdge of the current list starts a new chain. The chaining operator then iterates over the ViewEdges of the ViewMap using the user specified iterator. This operator only iterates using the increment operator and is therefore unidirectional. This chaining operator is different from the previous one because it doesn’t take any modifier as argument. Indeed, the time stamp (insuring that a ViewEdge is processed one time) is automatically managed in this case.

Parameters:
  • it (ViewEdgeIterator) – The iterator on the ViewEdges of the ViewMap. It contains the chaining rule.
  • pred (UnaryPredicate1D) – The predicate on the ViewEdge that expresses the stopping condition.
static create(pred, shaders)

Creates and shades the strokes from the current set of chains. A predicate can be specified to make a selection pass on the chains.

Parameters:
  • pred (UnaryPredicate1D) – The predicate that a chain must verify in order to be transform as a stroke.
  • shaders (list of StrokeShader objects) – The list of shaders used to shade the strokes.

Splits the current set of chains in a recursive way. We process the points of each chain (with a specified sampling) to find the point minimizing a specified function. The chain is split in two at this point and the two new chains are processed in the same way. The recursivity level is controlled through a predicate 1D that expresses a stopping condition on the chain that is about to be processed.

Parameters:
  • func (UnaryFunction0DDouble) – The Unary Function evaluated at each point of the chain. The splitting point is the point minimizing this function.
  • pred_1d (UnaryPredicate1D) – The Unary Predicate expressing the recursivity stopping condition. This predicate is evaluated for each curve before it actually gets split. If pred_1d(chain) is true, the curve won’t be split anymore.
  • sampling (float) – The resolution used to sample the chain for the predicates evaluation. (The chain is not actually resampled, a virtual point only progresses along the curve using this resolution.)
static recursive_split(func, pred_0d, pred_1d, sampling=0.0)

Splits the current set of chains in a recursive way. We process the points of each chain (with a specified sampling) to find the point minimizing a specified function. The chain is split in two at this point and the two new chains are processed in the same way. The user can specify a 0D predicate to make a first selection on the points that can potentially be split. A point that doesn’t verify the 0D predicate won’t be candidate in realizing the min. The recursivity level is controlled through a predicate 1D that expresses a stopping condition on the chain that is about to be processed.

Parameters:
  • func (UnaryFunction0DDouble) – The Unary Function evaluated at each point of the chain. The splitting point is the point minimizing this function.
  • pred_0d (UnaryPredicate0D) – The Unary Predicate 0D used to select the candidate points where the split can occur. For example, it is very likely that would rather have your chain splitting around its middle point than around one of its extremities. A 0D predicate working on the curvilinear abscissa allows to add this kind of constraints.
  • pred_1d (UnaryPredicate1D) – The Unary Predicate expressing the recursivity stopping condition. This predicate is evaluated for each curve before it actually gets split. If pred_1d(chain) is true, the curve won’t be split anymore.
  • sampling (float) – The resolution used to sample the chain for the predicates evaluation. (The chain is not actually resampled; a virtual point only progresses along the curve using this resolution.)
static reset(delete_strokes=True)

Resets the line stylization process to the initial state. The results of stroke creation are accumulated if delete_strokes is set to False.

Parameters:delete_strokes (bool) – Delete the strokes that are currently stored.
static select(pred)

Selects the ViewEdges of the ViewMap verifying a specified condition.

Parameters:pred (UnaryPredicate1D) – The predicate expressing this condition.
static sequential_split(starting_pred, stopping_pred, sampling=0.0)

Splits each chain of the current set of chains in a sequential way. The points of each chain are processed (with a specified sampling) sequentially. Each time a user specified starting condition is verified, a new chain begins and ends as soon as a user-defined stopping predicate is verified. This allows chains overlapping rather than chains partitioning. The first point of the initial chain is the first point of one of the resulting chains. The splitting ends when no more chain can start.

Parameters:
  • starting_pred (UnaryPredicate0D) – The predicate on a point that expresses the starting condition.
  • stopping_pred (UnaryPredicate0D) – The predicate on a point that expresses the stopping condition.
  • sampling (float) – The resolution used to sample the chain for the predicates evaluation. (The chain is not actually resampled; a virtual point only progresses along the curve using this resolution.)
static sequential_split(pred, sampling=0.0)

Splits each chain of the current set of chains in a sequential way. The points of each chain are processed (with a specified sampling) sequentially and each time a user specified condition is verified, the chain is split into two chains. The resulting set of chains is a partition of the initial chain

Parameters:
  • pred (UnaryPredicate0D) – The predicate on a point that expresses the splitting condition.
  • sampling (float) – The resolution used to sample the chain for the predicate evaluation. (The chain is not actually resampled; a virtual point only progresses along the curve using this resolution.)

The difference resides in the object access: an Interface0DIterator only allows access to an Interface0D while one might need to access the specialized StrokeVertex type. In this case, one should use a StrokeVertexIterator.

Parameters:
  • begin (ViewEdge or None) – The ViewEdge from where to start the iteration.
  • orientation (bool) – If true, we’ll look for the next ViewEdge among the ViewEdges that surround the ending ViewVertex of begin. If false, we’ll search over the ViewEdges surrounding the ending ViewVertex of begin.
__init__(brother)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:brother (ViewEdgeIterator) – A ViewEdgeIterator object.
change_orientation()

Changes the current orientation.

begin

The first ViewEdge used for the iteration.

Type:ViewEdge
current_edge

The ViewEdge object currently pointed by this iterator.

Type:ViewEdge
object

The ViewEdge object currently pointed by this iterator.

Type:ViewEdge
orientation

The orientation of the pointed ViewEdge in the iteration. If true, the iterator looks for the next ViewEdge among those ViewEdges that surround the ending ViewVertex of the “begin” ViewEdge. If false, the iterator searches over the ViewEdges surrounding the ending ViewVertex of the “begin” ViewEdge.

__init__()

Default constructor.

__init__(brother)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:brother (ViewShape) – A ViewShape object.
__init__(sshape)

Builds a ViewShape from an SShape.

Parameters:sshape (SShape) – An SShape object.
add_edge(edge)

Adds a ViewEdge to the list of ViewEdge objects.

Parameters:edge (ViewEdge) – A ViewEdge object.
add_vertex(vertex)

Adds a ViewVertex to the list of the ViewVertex objects.

Parameters:vertex (ViewVertex) – A ViewVertex object.
edges

The list of ViewEdge objects contained in this ViewShape.

Type:List of ViewEdge objects
id

The Id of this ViewShape.

Type:Id
library_path

The library path of the ViewShape.

Type:str, or None if the ViewShape is not part of a library
name

The name of the ViewShape.

Type:str
sshape

The SShape on top of which this ViewShape is built.

Type:SShape
vertices

The list of ViewVertex objects contained in this ViewShape.

Type:List of ViewVertex objects
class freestyle.types.ViewVertex

Class hierarchy: Interface0D > ViewVertex

Class to define a view vertex. A view vertex is a feature vertex corresponding to a point of the image graph, where the characteristics of an edge (e.g., nature and visibility) might change. A ViewVertex can be of two kinds: A TVertex when it corresponds to the intersection between two ViewEdges or a NonTVertex when it corresponds to a vertex of the initial input mesh (it is the case for vertices such as corners for example). Thus, this class can be specialized into two classes, the TVertex class and the NonTVertex class.

edges_begin()

Returns an iterator over the ViewEdges that goes to or comes from this ViewVertex pointing to the first ViewEdge of the list. The orientedViewEdgeIterator allows to iterate in CCW order over these ViewEdges and to get the orientation for each ViewEdge (incoming/outgoing).

Returns:An orientedViewEdgeIterator pointing to the first ViewEdge.
Return type:orientedViewEdgeIterator
edges_end()

Returns an orientedViewEdgeIterator over the ViewEdges around this ViewVertex, pointing after the last ViewEdge.

Returns:An orientedViewEdgeIterator pointing after the last ViewEdge.
Return type:orientedViewEdgeIterator
edges_iterator(edge)

Returns an orientedViewEdgeIterator pointing to the ViewEdge given as argument.

Parameters:edge (ViewEdge) – A ViewEdge object.
Returns:An orientedViewEdgeIterator pointing to the given ViewEdge.
Return type:orientedViewEdgeIterator
nature

The nature of this ViewVertex.

Type:Nature
class freestyle.types.orientedViewEdgeIterator

Class hierarchy: Iterator > orientedViewEdgeIterator

Class representing an iterator over oriented ViewEdges around a ViewVertex. This iterator allows a CCW iteration (in the image plane). An instance of an orientedViewEdgeIterator can only be obtained from a ViewVertex by calling edges_begin() or edges_end().

__init__()

Default constructor.

__init__(iBrother)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:iBrother (orientedViewEdgeIterator) – An orientedViewEdgeIterator object.
object

The oriented ViewEdge (i.e., a tuple of the pointed ViewEdge and a boolean value) currently pointed to by this iterator. If the boolean value is true, the ViewEdge is incoming.

Type:(ViewEdge, bool)
