Translations:Pivy/1/en

Pivy is a Python binding library for Coin3D, the 3D-rendering library used in FreeCAD to display things in a 3D view. When imported in a running Python interpreter, Pivy allows us to communicate directly with any running Coin scenegraph, such as FreeCAD 3D views, or even to create new ones. Pivy is not required to compile FreeCAD, but it is required at runtime when running Python-based workbenches that create shapes on screen, like Draft and Arch. Because of this, Pivy is normally installed when installing a distribution of FreeCAD.
