Alternative to using mapple?
Rifahaziz opened this issue · comments
Hi, this is amazing work! I had a question for the custom dataset part, is there an alternative python library/tool to use instead of mapple? I am using windows and the mapple executable for windows seem to be outdated. Is there any other alternative to this especially that is python based? Thank you.
Hi @Rifahaziz, in principle, you can prepare the input point clouds in the generic VertexGroup (just an ASCII file) format using any tools you like - this is not Mapple-specific - though Mapple natively supports it. Yet, I saw @LiangliangNan (kudos👍) recently kindly released Easy3D-v2.5.1, which comes with an updated Mapple executable for Windows. I would give it a try before looking for alternatives or building a new wheel :)
Hi @chenzhaiyu , mapple works for windows, but the library sage does not. So I could not built it completely on windows.
Hi @Rifahaziz, this unfortunately cannot be simply solved from my side. I will close this issue for now while keeping chenzhaiyu/abspy#13 open. Please update there if you bump into anything useful!

What is the "library stage"?
Maple had prebuilt binary file here: https://github.com/LiangliangNan/Easy3D/releases/tag/v2.5.1
@LiangliangNan, we meant SageMath, on which abspy is built. Unfortunately Sage has discontinued their Windows binaries (see also chenzhaiyu/abspy#13).
Ah, I see. Thanks
Maybe good to provide prebuilt binaries?
