1# sdformat # 2 3SDF is an XML file format that describes environments, objects, and robots 4in a manner suitable for robotic applications. SDF is capable of representing 5and describing different physic engines, lighting properties, terrain, static 6or dynamic objects, and articulated robots with various sensors, and acutators. 7The format of SDF is also described by XML, which facilitates updates and 8allows conversion from previous versions. A parser is also contained within 9this package that reads SDF files and returns a C++ interface. 10 11Test coverage: 12 13[](https://codecov.io/bb/osrf/sdformat) 14 15 16## Installation ## 17 18Standard installation can be performed in UNIX systems using the following 19steps: 20 21 - mkdir build/ 22 - cd build/ 23 - cmake .. 24 - sudo make install 25 26sdformat supported cmake parameters at configuring time: 27 - USE_INTERNAL_URDF (bool) [default False] 28 Use an internal copy of urdfdom 1.0.0 instead of look for one 29 installed in the system 30 - USE_UPSTREAM_CFLAGS (bool) [default True] 31 Use the sdformat team compilation flags instead of the common set defined 32 by cmake. 33 34## Uninstallation ## 35 36To uninstall the software installed with the previous steps: 37 - cd build/ 38 - sudo make uninstall 39
