[Swig-user] defining parameters in python for c++ runtime?

[plinius_prem <da...@ym...>]

Good day everyone,

I have written a C++ script, which uses an API of a Computer-Aided-Design
(CAD) program to build a geometry with input of certain parameters (now done
with a .txt file though this is always a cause of precision errors). Now I
want to build a GUI for this code with python, which will allow the user to
define the parameters.
Is it possible – with SWIG – to directly define the parameters of the C++
code (some will be input by the user, others will be calculated) and then
calling the executable? I have tried this with a short example but wasn’t
successful. Defining the wrapped parameters was possible as was using the
wrapped functions but the new values weren’t transferred at runtime to the
exe. This is what I was afraid of since the executable is compiled
separately – and I don’t think that SWIG is supposed to work that way.
I’m not sure if wrapping the entire C++ code will do me any good at the end
because of all the non-standard libraries used by the CAD Program’s API.
What do you guy’s think? Is there a way to get this idea to work? Will
wrapping the entire C++ code be worth a try?

Thanks!
