tulip-control / polytope

Geometric operations on polytopes of any dimension

TuLiP

This is the source repository for TuLiP, the temporal logic planning toolbox. The project website is http://tulip-control.org

Installation

In most cases, it suffices to:

pip install .

TuLiP can be installed also from PyPI:

pip install tulip

This will install the latest release, together with required dependencies. To find out what dependencies (including optional ones) are installed, call:

tulip.interfaces.print_env()

For detailed instructions, including notes about dependencies and troubleshooting, consult https://tulip-control.sourceforge.io/doc/install.html The next section describes how to build documentation. A test suite is provided under tests/. Consult the section "Testing" below.

Pip can install the latest development snapshot too:

pip install https://github.com/tulip-control/tulip-control/archive/master.zip

Code under development can be unstable so trying pip install tulip first is recommended.

Documentation

There are two main sources of documentation outside the code. The "user" documentation is under doc/ and is built with Sphinx, so the usual steps apply,

make html

API documentation is generated using Epydoc and can also be built from the doc directory, now by

make api

Built copies for the most recent release of TuLiP are available online at:

• https://tulip-control.sourceforge.io/doc/
• https://tulip-control.sourceforge.io/api-doc/

Command summaries are provided by make help. Besides the above sources, you may also read API documentation using the standard pydoc tool. E.g.,

pydoc tulip

Testing

Tests are performed using pytest. From the root of the source tree (i.e., where setup.py is located),

./run_tests.py

to perform basic tests. To try all available tests, ./run_tests.py full. For alternatives and a summary of usage, ./run_tests.py -h
