Initial usage `stl2ascii`??? #178

Closed glicka closed 1 year ago

glicka commented 2 years ago

The readme has an initial usage that says stl2ascii your_binary_stl_file.stl new_ascii_stl_file.stl, but there are no options to do this in the package and no example files to run this command. Am I missing something?

Are doing a pip install numpy-stl it should be a command that you can run just like the pip command.

Specifically, this part of the setup.py script takes care of that: https://github.com/WoLpH/numpy-stl/blob/b2e71ccacf7260cbbc77d8d092dd375437e46589/setup.py#L115-L119

If it doesn't work for you, that probably means you don't have the Python scripts path in your shell's PATH environment variable.

A newer more convenient option would be to use pipx :)

First install numpy-stl using pipx: pipx install numpy-stl Once you've done that, you should be able to use the stl2ascii command from your shell
