Version: 0.2
Summary: This toolbox generates automatically a vtk-visualization for an ode (Open Dynamics Engine) simulation under Python. You only have to define the simulation space and world and forward these entities to the visualization.

        1. Preface: 
        ===========
        
        I wrote this simple library, because I was fed up with dealing with the visualization for every ode-simulation. All geometrical information are allready within the simulation, so why was it not done automatically.
        
        
        2. Requirements: 
        ================
        
        Open Dynamics Engine: http://www.ode.org
        ----------------------------------------
        Download the current version, compile it or use binary-packages. 
        
        PyODE: http://pyode.sourceforge.net
        -----------------------------------
        This is the ode-interface for Python, it also contains the xode-project, which enables the definition of ode-simulations with XML. See the ReadMe for further
        installation information. 
        
        Visualization Toolkit (VTK): http://www.vtk.org
        -----------------------------------------------
        Download VTK if you haven't insalled it yet and compile it with Python support. See also ReadMe for further installation information.
        
        Additional:
        -----------
        If you are using Linux as I do (Ubuntu), nearly all of these tools and libraries can be installed from precompiled versions. But for xode you will have to download PyODE from http://pyode.sourceforge.net.
        
        
        3. Install: 
        ===========
        
        Using ``pip``::
        
            $ pip install odeViz
        
        From a tarball::
        
            $ python setup.py install
        
        
        4. Running the examples:
        ========================
        
        I put two examples in this project, one (tutorial3.py) was taken from the PyODE-tutorial. In fact it is the same, I just removed all OpenGL-functionality. The second example (test.py) shows, how easy it is to define a simulation for ode with an XML document (see test.xml). To run this example you will have to use xode.
