Improvement of "Data Recorder Rec"

Note that using a non-unique sticky key (i.e. "x") means that another instance of this GHPython component (or anything else that can access the sticky) can mess with this sticky value (leading to all sorts of potential trouble). A couple of ways around this:

  1. Get the guid of the GHPython component and append this to the key (example here), making the key value unique to the specific GHPython component instance (meaning you can copy/paste it).

  2. Or better yet: Use the if “foo” not in globals() method for creating a persistent variable (covered here and here).
