Ok so I changed the script from this link: Add command line options such that the Getpoint keeps repeating until I Esc out of it. I also removed all options except for the integer option. And I added “intOption.CurrentValue+=1” to make the integer increase by 1 each time you make a point.
But the problem is that it’s not showing the increased integer in the command line until I click on that option. Then it show’s me the current integer.
So it keeps showing me this after each point I place
until I click on the option and then it shows me the updated Integer after placing a few points (4 in this case)
Can anybody help me out here? How do I update the commandline option after placing each point to match that new integer? And perhaps a better question: How do I search and find things like this without having to ask somebody else that knows this?
import Rhino
import scriptcontext
def CommandLineOptions():
# For this example we will use a GetPoint class, but all of the custom
# "Get" classes support command line options.
gp = Rhino.Input.Custom.GetPoint()
gp.SetCommandPrompt("GetPoint with options")
# set up the options
intOption = Rhino.Input.Custom.OptionInteger(1, 1, 99)
gp.AddOptionInteger("Integer", intOption)
while True:
# perform the get operation. This will prompt the user to
# input a point, but also allow for command line options
# defined above
get_rc = gp.Get()
if gp.CommandResult()!=Rhino.Commands.Result.Success:
return gp.CommandResult()
if get_rc==Rhino.Input.GetResult.Point:
point = gp.Point()
scriptcontext.doc.Objects.AddPoint(point)
scriptcontext.doc.Views.Redraw()
intOption.CurrentValue+=1
elif get_rc==Rhino.Input.GetResult.Option:
if gp.OptionIndex()==opList:
listIndex = gp.Option().CurrentListOptionIndex
continue
if get_rc == Rhino.Input.GetResult.Cancel:
break
return Rhino.Commands.Result.Success
if __name__ == "__main__":
CommandLineOptions()
2 more questions:
Why did you add that “.EnglishName” to the option name?
And why do you need this: scriptcontext.doc.Views.Redraw()? I don’t see the difference with or without this.
So where do you find it and how do you search? I sometimes manage to find some info on the developers website but often don’t manage implementing those things.
I’m still not 100% sure I get it. So you distinguished this option by naming it “EnglishName”? Or? So should you give every option a name if you have multiple options?
Hi @Simen, no i did not name it, EnglishName is a property of a CommandLineOption which you can use to get the name which you assigned when adding it. Say you add two different options to your point getter like this:
# add a first command line option to enter an integer between 1 and 99
optInteger = Rhino.Input.Custom.OptionInteger(1, 1, 99)
gp.AddOptionInteger("MyInteger", optInteger)
# add another command line option to toggle something
optToggle = Rhino.Input.Custom.OptionToggle(True, "No", "Yes")
gp.AddOptionToggle("MyToggle", optToggle)
then the user picks one of the two available CommandLineOptions, you’ll want to find out which one and perform some action. This happens like below:
elif get_rc == Rhino.Input.GetResult.Option:
# user picked an option, find out which by getting the option name
if gp.Option().EnglishName == "MyInteger":
print "MyInteger = {}".format(optInteger.CurrentValue)
elif gp.Option().EnglishName == "MyToggle":
print "MyToggle = {}".format(str(optToggle.CurrentValue))
The reason why i wrote it like this in my above example:
option_name = gp.Option().EnglishName
was just that i then have less typing in case of many options. Does this help ?
