I have quick question re: the Ladybug geometry .py libraries. I’m trying to use the LBT geometry objects, specifically de-serializing some LBT geometry dicts. I notice that there is an HB ‘dictutil’ module that seems to handle re-serializing most Honeybee object types cleanly, but I wonder if there is a similar one for Ladybug Geometry? I couldn’t find one - and it seems like inside the honeybee.dictutil.py there isn’t something something like this used? But thought I’d check before building my own?
Something where you just push a re-serialized dict at it, and it returns the correct LBT Geometry object based on the ‘type’ key?
Yes definitely - I just thought maybe a more universal converter function might already exist someplace that I just hadn’t found yet. Not a problem at all thought. Thanks @mostapha !
Right, there’s no dictutil.py module for ladybug_geometry right now but I would support adding one if you find it useful. All of the ladybug_geometry dictionaries have a "type" key that could be used to identify the object type (it’s always the same name as the object class). So you could structure the ladybug geometry dictionary methods like all of the honeybee dictutil.py ones. If you end up making a module like this and sending a PR to the ladybug_geometry repo, I would be happy to review it and merge it into the official code base.
