rs.GetPoints() method - in_plane option is 'too constrained'

Scripting

The optional argument currently accepts only a Boolean value to constrain the points to the active CPlane (True) or not. Methinks this is too limited - instead of a binary yes/no answer, why can’t this input be a plane - any plane - and not just an option to use the active CPlane or not. It would add a lot to the flexibility of the method.

I think the code could be modified to accommodate this without breaking existing scripts…

Current excerpt:

    if in_plane:
        gp.ConstrainToConstructionPlane(True)
        plane = scriptcontext.doc.Views.ActiveView.ActiveViewport.ConstructionPlane()
        gp.Constrain(plane, False)

Maybe could be:

    if in_plane:
        if isinstance(in_plane,Rhino.Geometry.Plane):
            gp.ConstrainToConstructionPlane(False)
            plane=in_plane
        else:
            gp.ConstrainToConstructionPlane(True)
            plane = scriptcontext.doc.Views.ActiveView.ActiveViewport.ConstructionPlane()
        gp.Constrain(plane, False)

Or something like that…
