How to change the GH workspace via Python

Hi Guys,

Without giving too much away about what I’m trying to do, I just need a point in the right direction I hope.

I’d like to write a GH python component that does a series of changes to the components on the canvas:

  • remove all groups
  • remove all scribbles
  • turn all hidden wires back to default
  • change the location on the components on the canvas

I currently do these steps manually using menu items and Metahopper components - I’d just like to automate the process.

Is there somewhere I need to be looking to find these types of controls?

Cheers

DK

Would a solution with metahopper also be acceptable?

@martinsiegrist Thank you!

I currently do use metahopper to do these processes - I’d like to compact it into a single script if possible. I’m also wanting to expand my knowledge on how Metahopper actually works under the hood.

Cheers

OK, so I have made some progress, I can change the wire style across the whole GH document.

Now I’m stuck on how to delete groups, looks like I have a way to find/select them, but not how to delete?

Any pointers out there?

Cheers

DK
