Kivy Linux App - Embedding of external program inside kivy

[Patrick Deubel]

Hi,

Is it possible to embedd an external program inside kivy when developing a linux app?

In my use case I have data for a 3D point cloud and I want to visualize it. I did not find a suitable solution using only kivy, therefore I am using Open3D now for this. This has the disadvantage of opening a second window. Is there a solution to open Open3D inside the kivy window?

Mandy thanks!

Never tried it, this is what I would look at:

Probably the only thing you can do is display the current 2D render result inside a Kivy Widget.

If you can get the 2D render from Open3D, as say bytes(), that that could be blitted to a Texture and displayed on a Canvas.
