This package calculates the masses, center of mass positions, and inertia
tensors that correspond to the human inertia model developed by Yeadon in
(Yeadon, 1990). The package allows for the input of both measurements and
configuration variables (joint angles), and provides 3D visualization using the
MayaVi package. See the online documentation at
`<https://yeadon.readthedocs.org/>`_.

Directories
===========

- ``yeadon/`` contains the python source files for the yeadon package.
- ``doc/`` contains source documents for building sphinx documentation.
- ``misc/`` contains figures and template input files.
- ``misc/samplemeasurements/`` contains sample measurement input files.

Installing
==========

This package works with Python 3.10+.

Dependencies
------------

`yeadon` depends on the following widely-used packages:

- NumPy_ for computations
- PyYAML_ for parsing input files
- setuptools_ for installation

.. _NumPy: https://numpy.org
.. _PyYAML: https://pyyaml.org
.. _setuptools: https://setuptools.pypa.io

The following packages are optional:

- MayaVi_ for visualization and GUI interaction

.. _MayaVi: https://mayavi.sourceforge.net

The following packages are needed for development:

- Sphinx_ to create documentation
- numpydoc_ Sphinx extension for NumPy-style documentation formatting
- pytest_ for tests

.. _Sphinx: https://www.sphinx-doc.org
.. _numpydoc: https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io
.. _pytest: https://pytest.org/

Installing yeadon as a user
---------------------------

Option 1: Conda Forge
`````````````````````

We maintain a Conda Forge binary of yeadon that is installable with Conda-based
tools (conda, mamba, pixi, etc.). Conda is a general cross-platform package
manager that provides all of these dependencies and it is often easiest to
install to get started. Install yeadon with::

   conda create -n yeadon-env -c conda-forge yeadon

If you install with conda and want to use the GUI, then you also need to
install Mayavi. It is helpful to note that two backends to Qt are available for
Mayavi. By default the pyqt backend is installed in an environment with, for
example::

   conda create -n yeadon-env -c conda-forge yeadon mayavi

You could instead install the PySide6 backend instead with::

   conda create -n yeadon-env -c conda-forge yeadon mayavi=*=pyside6_*

Option 2: PyPi
--------------

The source releases are available on PyPi and many tools can install from PyPi.
The easiest way to download and install the `yeadon` package is by using a tool
like `pip` to obtain the package from the Python Package Index (PyPi)::

   $ python -m pip install yeadon

Development dependency installation
-----------------------------------

Option 1: Conda
```````````````

Install the developmetn dependencies::

   conda create -n yeadon-env -c conda-forge numpy pyyaml mayavi pytest sphinx numpydoc pip setuptools

You could instead install the PySide6 backend instead with::

   conda create -n yeadon-env -c conda-forge numpy pyyaml pytest sphinx numpydoc pip setuptools mayavi=*=pyside6_*

Option 2: Operating system package manager
``````````````````````````````````````````

In some operating systems, the dependencies can also be obtained from the
operating system's package manager. For example, in Debian systems, you should
be able to obtain all of these packages by opening a terminal window and
typing::

   $ # prepend sudo to each line below if you desire a system install
   $ apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-numpy python3-yaml # required
   $ apt-get install mayavi2 # optional packages
   $ apt-get install python3-pytest python3-sphinx python3-numpydoc # development tools

For other operating systems (e.g. Windows or Mac), visit the websites for the
packages for installation instructions.

Option 3: Building dependencies from source
```````````````````````````````````````````

This option is required if you want to use `yeadon` in a virtualenv. You can
build the dependencies from source and then install them by using a tool like
`pip`::

    $ python -m pip install numpy PyYAML  # required
    $ python -m pip install mayavi  # optional
    $ python -m pip install pytest sphinx numpydoc  # development tools

or you can obtain the source code, perhaps from GitHub_, and install the
packages manually.

.. _GitHub: https://github.com

Getting yeadon
--------------

You can obtain an archive of the package at the Python Package Index
(`<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/yeadon>`_), and then install the package on
your own by executing the following from the root directory of the package::

   $ python -m pip install .

On Unix, you can obtain the package source code and install it without leaving
your terminal::

   $ # change X.X.X to the desired version
   $ wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/y/yeadon/yeadon-X.X.X.tar.gz
   $ tar -zxfv yeadon-X.X.X.tar.gz
   $ cd yeadon-X.X.X.tar.gz
   $ python -m pip install .

Run the tests with::

   $ pytest

Building the documentation
==========================

You can build the yeadon HTML documentation if you have Sphinx by typing the
following from the root directory of the yeadon source files::

   $ cd doc/
   $ make html

You can open the documentation in your favorite web browser::

   $ firefox _build/html/index.html

If you have a LaTeX distribution installed you can build the LaTeX docs with::

   $ cd doc/
   $ make latexpdf

and view the document with your preferred PDF viewer::

   $ evince _build/latex/yeadon.pdf

Note that to generate documentation, one also needs the `numpydoc` package.
Alternatively, one can just access the documentation through the `PyPi` site.

Usage
=====

Once the package is installed you can start the program with::

   $ yeadon

If you have MayaVi installed, the GUI will launch. If you don't, the text based
UI will launch. You can explicitly specify whether you want to load the GUI or
the UI with command-line flags::

   $ yeadon --gui
   $ yeadon --ui

You can also interact with `yeadon` in a Python interpreter session or Python
script/module via the API by importing the package. For example::

   $ python
   >>> import yeadon

Now you can create a human object with::

   >>> human = yeadon.Human(<measfilename>, <CFGfilename>)

where `<measfilename>` and `<CFGfilename>` are replaced by strings that contain
a relative or absolute path to the appropriate input `.txt` files. For more
basics on how to use a `Human` object, you can go into a python command prompt
and type::

   >>> help(yeadon.Human)

or see the documentation.

You can also start the UI or the GUI from within a Python interpreter by
executing::

   >>> yeadon.start_ui()

or::

   >>> yeadon.start_gui()

See the documentation for more information.
