Enable scikit-kinematics to run without OpenGL #35

Open biernackip opened 4 years ago

biernackip commented 4 years ago

It would be tremendously helpful if the library could be used only for the calculations, i.e. without OpenGL.

Currently, when we want to use from skinematics.imus import IMU_Base, then the __init__.py is called, which triggers the import of view (which in turn imports OpenGL)

Perhaps there could be an if statement that checks if OpenGL is installed.

Please let me know if you would like me to provide a solution in the form of a PR

Sorry about the tremendous delay: I had health issues, which have prevented me from attending to scikit-kinematics. A PR would be very much appreciated. Also, without OpenGL animated 3D visualizations don't work well. Why do you want to skip it?

I also encountered problems with GPU as my laptop doesn't want to run the library without it
