HoleMakerUI is a user interface for designing multimode cavities
Important Things:
- __settings__.json contains canvas specifcations
- Set filename to the name of the design you want to work on
- The 'Designs' folder contains all the designs (that is where HoleMakerUI will look for it)
- If the file exists, HoleMakerUI will read it and you can pick up where you left off
- If it doesn't exist, a new file will be created using the canvas specifcations in __settings__.json
- --> You MUST press 'u' to update your design file, it will not automatically update it for you <--
- The text file outputted by HoleMakerUI can be used as the input to the makeHoles() function in the MakeHoles.ipynb python notebook which will convert the text file into a 3D cavity using PyInventor
