trimesh.exchange.load#

trimesh.exchange.load.available_formats()#

Get a list of all available loaders

Returns:: loaders – Extensions of available loaders i.e. ‘stl’, ‘ply’, ‘dxf’, etc.
Return type:: list

trimesh.exchange.load.load(file_obj, file_type=None, resolver=None, force=None, **kwargs)#

Load a mesh or vectorized path into objects like Trimesh, Path2D, Path3D, Scene

Parameters:

file_obj (str, or file- like object) – The source of the data to be loadeded
file_type (str) – What kind of file type do we have (eg: ‘stl’)
resolver (trimesh.visual.Resolver) – Object to load referenced assets like materials and textures
force (None or str) – For ‘mesh’: try to coerce scenes into a single mesh For ‘scene’: try to coerce everything into a scene
kwargs (dict) – Passed to geometry __init__

Returns:

geometry – Loaded geometry as trimesh classes

Return type:

Trimesh, Path2D, Path3D, Scene

trimesh.exchange.load.load_compressed(file_obj, file_type=None, resolver=None, mixed=False, **kwargs)#

Given a compressed archive load all the geometry that we can from it.

Parameters:

file_obj (open file-like object) – Containing compressed data
file_type (str) – Type of the archive file
mixed (bool) – If False, for archives containing both 2D and 3D data will only load the 3D data into the Scene.

Returns:

scene – Geometry loaded in to a Scene object

Return type:

trimesh.Scene

trimesh.exchange.load.load_kwargs(*args, **kwargs)#: Load geometry from a properly formatted dict or kwargs

trimesh.exchange.load.load_mesh(file_obj, file_type=None, resolver=None, **kwargs)#

Load a mesh file into a Trimesh object

Parameters:

Returns:

mesh – Loaded geometry data

Return type:

trimesh.Trimesh or trimesh.Scene

trimesh.exchange.load.load_remote(url, **kwargs)#

Load a mesh at a remote URL into a local trimesh object.

This must be called explicitly rather than automatically from trimesh.load to ensure users don’t accidentally make network requests.

Parameters:

Returns:

loaded – Loaded result

Return type:

Trimesh, Path, Scene

trimesh.exchange.load.mesh_formats()#

Get a list of mesh formats available to load.

Returns:: loaders – Extensions of available mesh loaders, i.e. ‘stl’, ‘ply’, etc.
Return type:: list

trimesh.exchange.load.parse_file_args(file_obj, file_type, resolver=None, **kwargs)#

Given a file_obj and a file_type try to magically convert arguments to a file-like object and a lowercase string of file type.

Parameters:

file_obj (str) –

if string represents a file path, returns:
file_obj: an ‘rb’ opened file object of the path file_type: the extension from the file path

if string is NOT a path, but has JSON-like special characters:
file_obj: the same string passed as file_obj file_type: set to ‘json’

if string is a valid-looking URL
file_obj: an open ‘rb’ file object with retrieved data file_type: from the extension

if string is none of those:
raise ValueError as we can’t do anything with input

if file like object:
ValueError will be raised if file_type is None file_obj: same as input file_type: same as input

if other object: like a shapely.geometry.Polygon, etc:
file_obj: same as input file_type: if None initially, set to the class name

(in lower case), otherwise passed through
file_type (str) – type of file and handled according to above

Returns:
