Use litgen online#
This page shows an example of conversion of C++ code into C++ bindings code and python stubs. You can open it in an online interactive environment (mybinder), where you can edit the code below.
To launch the online tool, click on the rocket icon at the top right of this page, or use this link
The interactive environment will open in a new tab. Wait for it to be ready
Once it is launched, click on “Run Cell” to run each of the cells:
You can edit the C++ code as well as the options below. The generated code will be displayed under the cell, once you clicked “Run Cell”
