Example

Basic example:

• create a new CityScope project on the CityScope Editor and name it test
• Go to this new project on CityScopeJS Web App and make sure it is running (a map and 3d grid should be visible)
• keep the project open on the browser and open a new terminal window
• Go to the CS_CityScoPy folder on your system [after cloning, and installing dependenices]
  • to set up the table type: python cityscopy.py --cityscopy setup --table_name test
  • to scan the table grid type: python cityscopy.py --cityscopy scan --table_name test
• If all goes well, you should see updates on GEOGRIDDATA in cityIO
• Go back to the CityScopeJS Web App and see if the grid updates based on the scan
