PySide2 is a Python API for the Qt framework.
This API is made with Shiboken2, the Python binding generator.
It means that you can write your code in Python and use the Qt framework as you’d do with C++.
You have a C++ std::vector and you want to convert it to a Boost.Python Numpy ndarray.
But, once the ndarray got, you want to get back to the C++ array.
How to do that?
Let's see that in this Boost.Python tutorial.
If you are using Python then NumPy is quite interesting for manipulating arrays.
But how do we do that with C++ and Boost.Python NumPy extension?
If you are a scientist and interested in Python, you certainly already know the NumPy package.
In this tutorial I'll propose to explain how to install it on Windows in order to be used with the Boost.Python library.
We'll also make an Hello world example.
Communication between 2 different language isn't so easy.
It's often possible to find libraries to help us achieve this behaviour.
That's what we are going to see in this Boost.Python tutorial for Windows.
Let's get started.
Boost libraries are some of the famous ones in the C++ world.
They contain tons of functionalities but aren't so easy to use or even understand.
Python 3 has become an important language nowadays.
So if you haven't installed it yet on your Windows 10 operating system, it's time (it should work as well on Windows 11).
We are going to setup a complete installation in order to be ready using it later.
Adding text and numbers in an QAbstractItemModel was the easy part of the Qt Model/View design.
Creating a .DLL is an interesting process that allows a better comprehension how a dynamic-link library works on Windows.
No need to say that we'll use Visual Studio for that.
Ready to dynamic linking?
Let's link.
The QAbstractItemModel is usually used with views like QTableView, QTreeView or QListView.
We’re going to see how to use this class in a very easy example.
