Library for loading & saving the Binvox files

binvox

Binvox is a file-format developed by Patrick Min that helps to store the 3D binary-volume (e.g. occupancy grid) in compact manner. This repository contains a library for loading & saving the Binvox files.

A popular script to load/save binvox files has been published at here. However, the code is almost 10 years old now and every project duplicated the script file when using it.

This project is based on the available code-base. The main aim is to re-implement binvox file I/O as a library while taking OOP structure and easy distribution (packaging) into account.

Installation

Pip can be used to install the library:

pip install binvox

binvox's Issues

Updating bool type vars for numpy version >1.20

Creating this as a new issue - because I could not reopen the old one. The problem still persists. Just need to switch all of the "np.bool" with "bool" and it will run fine on newer numpy versions > 1.20. Can you please update the repo so that pip install reflects this - currently it does not.

License violation

This project contains source code that is copied from a GPL licensed project. As such, this project must also be released under the GPL license, which it is not.

I am not the author of the original code, but was interested in using the pypi package of this project because the older code is GPL licensed. Upon closer inspection, however, I noticed the license violation.

update to numpy 1.24

great lib, can you please update to numpy 1.24. Thank you!
