drcutils
Internal utility toolkit for Design Research Collective lab members.
What This Library Does
drcutils provides shared support utilities used across lab projects:
branding assets, figure-export helpers, lightweight file conversion, and runtime
environment detection.
Highlights
DRC logo, palette, and watermark helpers
Presentation-ready figure export presets
CAD and model-visualization wrappers
Lightweight data-format conversion and runtime checks
Intended Use
This package is intended primarily for internal lab workflows, not as a general-purpose public framework. It centralizes recurring utility functions so individual repositories do not duplicate branding and presentation logic.
Integration With The Ecosystem
The Design Research Collective maintains a modular ecosystem of libraries for research workflows:
design-research-agents for agent execution and trace collection.
design-research-problems for benchmark design tasks and evaluators.
design-research-analysis for analysis pipelines and study outputs.
design-research-experiments for study design and orchestration.
drcutils for shared utility support (branding, visuals, and runtime helpers).
