The OpenCV Python wrapper is automatically generated using a tool called SWIG (www.swig.org)
|
||
|
|
using filtered header files from OpenCV and the swig interface definition files (*.i).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are interested in simply using the Python interface, SWIG is not required and the generated
|
||
|
|
wrapper files can be used as is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to modify the python wrapper, or write bindings for another language supported by SWIG
|
||
|
|
(say Ruby or C#), you will need SWIG 1.2.24 or greater. The filtered headers are found in the
|
||
|
|
'filtered' subdirectory and are automatically regenerated at build-time if the originals have changed.
|
||
|
|
The 'general' subdirectory contains SWIG interface definition files that are not specific to Python, and
|
||
|
|
can hopefully utilized for other language wrappers. The files in the 'python' subdirectory are Python specific.
|
||
|
|
When adding new functionality, please try to use the SWIG abstractions rather than the Python API whenever
|
||
|
|
possible.
