Introduction to Python in Grasshopper

[Lautaro_Acosta]

Hi diff,

Thank you for your answer. I came up with a few questions while reading them:

1- Why are you saying RhinoCommon is an API? As far as I know an API is a different thing, maybe I am mistaken. Would you mind explaining what an API is for you?

2- What do you mean by “IronPython is a Python version derived from C#, whereas usually Python is programmed in C(++)”? Isn’t Python a languaje on its own? What do C++ or C# have to do here? And why does Rhino/Grasshopper use IronPython instead of “real” Python?

I am sorry for my basic knowledge on these topics, but I would really appreciate some advice and I really want to know more about these things.

Thank you very much again.

P.S.: Would you mind taking a look at this? I couldn’t come up with a solution and maybe you can help me:

Rhino Remote Panel with Python

Hi there, I wanted to do something similar to what you are doing with this Python component. I want to activate the Remote Control Panel but remove all of the other panels I have on Rhino and dock the Remote Control Panel to the right. Is that possible? I could run the script and open the RCP, but it opens as a floating window, which is not what I want (see images). Thanks in advance, Juan [1] [2]
