CloudCompare forum

Hello
This is the first time I try to develop a plugin in CloudCompare. I am currently studying the documentation to develop a plugin using python. According to the official Cloudcompare website, there are only 2 libraries that can be used with python, Python Runtime (pycc, cccorelib) and CloudCompy.
My Doubt here is. Is it possible to integrate CloudCompy tools in a plugin that is developed with pycc and cccorelib?

Thank you very much in advance for the information provided.
Thank you.

Yes, it's possible with the Python Runtime.

For now, the only example is the 3DFin plugin by Swansee University (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... n_(plugin)).

You can look at the code and maybe ask questions to its authors via github: https://github.com/3DFin/3DFin/tree/main

Thank you very much for your reply.
I have installed the latest version of CloudCompare (2.13.1v) together with the python plugin, but I don't know how to proceed with the installation of CloudCompy. Is it likely that I should install the dependencies for CloudCompy with pip in the site-package of the python plugin (where for example 3DForest INventory is installed) and then copy and paste the CloudCompy binary folder in this same directory?

So CloudCompy is a different project (here I was suggesting to use 'Python Runtime').

For CloudCompy, you'll have to follow the instruction on the project website or on its github page: https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCo ... /README.md

It's also more efficient to ask questions on both projects github space (as the authors of these 2 projects don't come on this forum).

I don't think it makes much sense to create a python pluging with CloudComPy + pycc + cccorelib, as CloudComPy has the same functionnalities than pycc+cccorelib: it exposes data structures and functions from the libraries of CloudCompare
