Input and output¶

Splipy supports reading from and writing to a number of different file formats. This is handled through a number of classes in the splipy.io module, each of which have identical interfaces (although not all formats support all functions).

The file objects are intended to be used as context managers, i.e.

with G2('some_file.g2') as f:
    f.write(...)
    objs = f.read()

The available formats are:

splipy.io.G2: G2-format (as used by GoTools)
splipy.io.SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics
splipy.io.STL: Stereolitography format
