Suggestions for viewing 3D tool paths
-
Hello,
I normally build widget based applications - creating the UI in Designer and then moving forward with Python from there. I would like to have one of those applications show a 3D tool path. Something like a machine path, robot path, CNC path, etc. It would consist of a few hundred line segments and arcs.
Is there is Qt solutions for this? Hopefully, some widget that I can put in the program, feed it some objects to represent the path, and have it take care of the rendering/zooming/panning. All of the things I found only care about meshes.
I really do not want to get into the fine details of OpenGL. If it comes to that, I will just create a 2D view in a QGraphicsScene and that will have to do.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Something like that likely exists but it's not part of the default set of Qt components.
One thing you could do is explore KDE's extensive set of applications. There might be something there that you could leverage for your project.
