Scripting
1

Hello
I am trying to make a button that mirrors a object in X or Y axis.I have a script that mirrors x and y axis.would it be possible to have a button that asks if I want to mirrors x or y axis after clicking the button.below is the script

Call MirrorXY()
Sub MirrorXY()
    Dim hState,objs,xMirObjs,yMirObjs
    hState = Rhino.EnableHistoryRecording(True)
    objs = Rhino.GetObjects("Select objects to quad mirror",,, True, True)
    Call Rhino.EnableRedraw(False)
    If Not IsArray(objs) Then Exit Sub
    Call Rhino.Command("_Mirror X _Enter", False)
    xMirObjs = Rhino.LastCreatedObjects()
    If IsArray(xMirObjs) Then
        Call Rhino.SelectObjects(xMirObjs)
        Call Rhino.Command("_Mirror Y _Enter", False)
    End If
    Call Rhino.UnselectAllObjects()
    Call Rhino.SelectObjects(objs)
    If Not hState Then
        Call Rhino.EnableHistoryRecording(False)
    End If
    Call Rhino.EnableRedraw(True)
End Sub
)

You could use Rhino.GetBoolean to make your choice…
(edited slightly, added “sticky” axis choice)

Option Explicit
'set up a global variable to remember axis setting within session
Private prevMA
If IsEmpty(prevMA) Then prevMA = False 'default to X

Call HistoryMirrorXorY()
Sub HistoryMirrorXorY()
    Dim hState,objs,mirObjs,bool,axis
    hState = Rhino.EnableHistoryRecording(True)
    
    objs = Rhino.GetObjects("Select objects to mirror",,, True, True)
    If Not IsArray(objs) Then Exit Sub
    
    bool = Rhino.GetBoolean("Mirror axis?", Array("Mirror", "X", "Y"), Array(prevMA))
    If IsNull(bool) Then Exit Sub
    If bool(0) Then    axis = "Y" Else axis = "X"
    
    Call Rhino.EnableRedraw(False)    
    Call Rhino.Command("Mirror " & axis & " Enter", False)
    Call Rhino.EnableHistoryRecording(hState)
    'record axis choice for next use
    prevMA = bool(0)
    Call Rhino.EnableRedraw(True)
End Sub
