GH_Panel set panel size

[iom]

Hi there,
when you create a GH_Panel in C# (var panel = new Grasshopper.Kernel.Special.GH_Panel();), how can I control the size of it on the GH canvas?
Thanks!

Hi,

That’s a matter of defining the Pivot and Bounds properties of the Attributes of the Panel.

Done here :

Grasshopper Bug: Changing to (Draw Full Names) Resizes Text Boxes

Fow what it’s worth, here is a C# script that you can activate to reduce those panels after switching back to short names mode. I don’t think it’s that useful but at least I learnt some things in the Grasshopper API. My attempts at triggering it automatically on a canvas redraw have resulted in two computer crashes so I’ll stick with the button click for now ! It only affects panels without a Nickname and that are in Multiline Data mode, so presumably panels with a single line of text. [Redraw…

sweet, thanks a lot, works perfectly!

Explicitly, this is the line to resize the panel in python:
panel.Attributes.Bounds = sd.Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 50)

you might need to
import System.Drawing as sd
