Recast/Detour VS WeasyPrint

RecastNavigation

Detour is open source (zlib) so anyone has access to a proven RVO implementation. I believe Unreal and Unity still use Recast/Detour for navmesh and avoidance, but it looks like Godot cooked up their own.

https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation There is also a library called Yuka that is web based that can generate navmeshes i think: https://mugen87.github.io/yuka/docs/NavMesh.html

Hi, wanted to post about my rust project. I created Rust Lang bindings to the famous https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation . My library, Divert, currently provides the resources to interact with the Detour, 3d mesh path finding, capabilities of Recast Navigation. In the future, I hope to implement bindings for the Recast side of RecastNavigation which facilitates generating navigation meshes from input geometry to be used by detour. Most of my hobby work revolves around reverse engineering video games, so I needed the capabilities of Detour for my Rust program to navigate in game geometry. I would characterize myself as quite new to Rust still, so constructive criticism is highly welcome. I imagine, I did some really weird stuff while designing this crate, and I bet someone can let me know here ;)

Recast & Detour for navigation meshes (though Rust does have Detour bindings)

For path finding there is at least https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation

Recast is used in Unreal and many other games.

https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation Would be.

Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?

https://weasyprint.org

I've gone through a number of systems to convert CV's, business cards, and other docs and it hasn't let me down yet.

You don't _have_ to use a browser. I had very good results with Weasyprint [0]. And there's also PrinceXML [1] if you're willing to pay.

Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.

The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.

And thanks for the pointer to Taffy - I didn't know it before!

Flexbox support has been [included][1] since 2018, although my use case was the prototypical one - a single row w/ 3 columns - so YMMV with how it handles more complex layouts.

Performance is not the strength of WeasyPrint, meaning that heavy HTML files will increase generation time. You should always compress images before attaching them, as they are not compressed by default. Generating a 50-page-long PDF may take up to a minute in extreme cases, although multi-page documents generated on my project take fewer than 2 seconds to generate.

For Python there is Weasyprint: you prepare the invoice as an HTML document, and Weasyprint turns it into a PDF

Well yes, but you can implement HTML+CSS. WeasyPrint did from scratch, and independent implementations of HTML+CSS are considerably more numerous than HTML+CSS+JS.

In a recent project I used https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/ it is written in python, so you will need to use it like so:
