[SOLVED] What happened to the compas_viewers?

Is there an equivalent for the compas_viewers.multimeshviewer in the recent releases ?

compas-dev/examples/blob/master/examples/platonic-solids/platonic-solids.py

from compas.datastructures import Mesh
from compas.datastructures import mesh_transform
from compas.datastructures import mesh_dual
from compas.geometry import Translation
from compas.geometry import Scale
from compas.geometry import length_vector
from compas_viewers.multimeshviewer import MultiMeshViewer

tetra = Mesh.from_polyhedron(4)
hexa = Mesh.from_polyhedron(6)
octa = Mesh.from_polyhedron(8)
dodeca = Mesh.from_polyhedron(12)
icosa = Mesh.from_polyhedron(20)

meshes = [tetra, hexa, octa, dodeca, icosa]
for i, mesh in enumerate(meshes):
    radius = length_vector(mesh.vertex_attributes(mesh.get_any_vertex(), 'xyz'))
    scale = 1 / radius
    T = Translation([2.2 * i, 0.0, 0.0])
    S = Scale([scale, scale, scale])

Stupid me: it’s a plugin…

just FYI, if you are trying to visualize geometry objects as well, you should use the object viewer and not the multimesh. the latter is deprecated and will be removed in the future…

Thanks. Do I get it right ? The multimesh viewer will be removed and what’s left is the mesh viewer and the object viewer. Or is the plan to remove both mesh viewers ?

both mesh viewers will be removed. meshes will be one of the object types that can be visualised using the object viewer…

OK good. That makes it quite similar to how Blender works I guess.
