Type '?' for help. >>> 

The import * means that you don't need to use a package prefix. Two robot models are also already imported: puma and panda

>>> puma.fkine(puma.qn) Out[1]: SE3:┏ ┓ ┃ 0 0 1 0.596 ┃ ┃ 0 1 0 -0.15 ┃ ┃-1 0 0 0.657 ┃ ┃ 0 0 0 1 ┃ ┗ ┛ >>> puma.plot(puma.qn) 

Command line options

positional arguments: script specify script to run optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --backend BACKEND, -b BACKEND specify graphics backend --color COLOR, -c COLOR specify terminal color scheme (neutral, lightbg, nocolor, linux), linux is for dark mode --confirmexit CONFIRMEXIT, -x CONFIRMEXIT confirm exit --prompt PROMPT, -p PROMPT input prompt --resultprefix RESULTPREFIX, -r RESULTPREFIX execution result prefix, include {} for execution count number --noshowassign, -a do not display the result of assignments 

You can provide a script which runs in the same context, ie. with those packages imported. It is also possible to set the input (--prompt) and result (--resultprefix) prompts.

--showassign, -a means that the result of an assignment

>>> T = SE3() Out[1]: SE3:┏ ┓ ┃ 1 0 0 0 ┃ ┃ 0 1 0 0 ┃ ┃ 0 0 1 0 ┃ ┃ 0 0 0 1 ┃ ┗ ┛ 

is displayed, when ordinarily it is not and you would have to write

>>> T = SE3() >>> T Out[2]: SE3:┏ ┓ ┃ 1 0 0 0 ┃ ┃ 0 1 0 0 ┃ ┃ 0 0 1 0 ┃ ┃ 0 0 0 1 ┃ ┗ ┛
