Python is a general purpose, high level programming language that is very commonly used in large applications to automate some tasks by creating scripts or macros.
In FreeCAD, Python code can be used to create various elements programmatically, without needing to click on the graphical user interface. Additionally, many tools and workbenches of FreeCAD are programmed in Python.
See Introduction to Python to learn about the Python programming language, and then Python scripting tutorial and FreeCAD Scripting Basics to start scripting in FreeCAD.
Readability of Python code is one of the most important aspects of this language. Using a clear and consistent style within the Python community facilitates contributions by different developers, as most experienced Python programmers expect the code to be formatted in a certain way and to follow certain rules. When writing Python code, it is advisable to follow PEP8: Style Guide for Python Code and PEP257: Docstring Conventions.
These documents present explanations in a more user-friendly way:
このドキュメントでは、Pythonの例に関していくつかの規約が定められています。
以下は関数シグネチャの典型的な例です。
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, closed=False, placement=None, face=None, support=None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, False, None, None, None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, False, None, None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, False, None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, False)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, closed=False, placement=None, face=None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, closed=False, face=None, placement=None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, placement=None, closed=False, face=None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, support=None, closed=False, placement=None, face=None)
p1 = Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = Vector(1, 1, 0)
p3 = Vector(2, 0, 0)
Wire = make_wire([p1, p2, p3], closed=True)
a_list = [1, 2, 3,
2, 4, 5]
Wire = make_wire(pointslist,
False, None,
None, None)
Wire = make_wire(pointslist, closed=True, face=True)
Window = make_window(Wire, name="Big window")
Pythonの関数はモジュールと呼ばれるファイルに収められています。あるモジュールの関数を呼び出す前に、import
文をつかってドキュメントにそのモジュールをインポートする必要があります。
モジュールをインポートすると、module.function()
のようにモジュール名を前置した関数呼び出しができるようになります。これによって、異なるモジュールに同名の関数があっても名前の衝突を防ぐことができます。
例えば、2つの関数Arch.make_window()
とmyModule.make_window()
とは何の問題もなく共存できます。
Full examples should include the necessary imports and the prefixed functions.
import FreeCAD as App
import Draft
p1 = App.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = App.Vector(1, 1, 0)
p3 = App.Vector(2, 0, 0)
Wire = Draft.make_wire([p1, p2, p3], closed=True)
import FreeCAD as App
import Draft
import Arch
p1 = App.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = App.Vector(1, 0, 0)
p3 = App.Vector(1, 1, 0)
p4 = App.Vector(0, 2, 0)
pointslist = [p1, p2, p3, p4]
Wire = Draft.make_wire(pointslist, closed=True, face=True)
Structure = Arch.make_structure(Wire, name="Big pillar")
