Module xode.parser

Introduction

This module is part of the implementation of an XODE importer. It is part of the PyODE package. The parser uses the xml.parsers.expat module.

The parser creates a tree from an XODE document which the programmer can query or transverse. Many of the tree nodes correspond to ODE objects but some are present merely for organisation (such as the Group node).

• Quaternion and axis-angle rotation modes
• Groups
• Joints other than BallJoint
• Extension support

Usage

 | from xode import parser
 | import ode
 |
 | f = file('xode-document.xml')
 | p = parser.Parser(f)
 | root = p.parseFile(f)
 |
 | # Retrieve named objects
 | body1 = root.childNamed('body1').getODEObject()
 | joint1 = root.childNamed('joint1').getODEObject()
 |
 | # Transverse the tree printing object names
 | def transverse(node):
 |     print node.getName()
 |     for c in node.getChildren():
 |         transverse(c)
 | transverse(root)
