Setting dataSize for the modifier plugin

Hello,

I started developing my first modifier plugin for Vizard (see http://forum.worldviz.com/showthread.php?t=1969). So what I am making is a modifier that gets the depth buffer information from a Camera. I have it working okay, the only part left is returning the data to the python script.

At the moment I use a fixed size texture (say 8 by 8). And I set the dataSize to 8 * 8 in the InitModifier procedure. As far as I understand each instance of the modifier will get it's own buffer of 64 floats. But I want to have a different texturesizes, which leads to a different dataSize for each instance. Is there some way to do this? Can I just change the dataSize, free up the data field and allocate a new buffer in the PerformModifier procedure?

Greetings, Joran.

Yes, you can manually reallocate the data field. Just make sure that you set the dataSize member to the new size.

However, in your case I would suggest directly creating Python objects within your modifier plugin. For example, if you wanted to make some raw byte data available to your script, you could do the following:
Code:
PyObject *imageData = PyString_FromStringAndSize(buffer,bufferLen);

//Add python object to __main__ module
PyModule_AddObject(PyImport_AddModule("__main__"),"myImageData",imageData);
After this code is executed, there will be an myImageData variable available in the __main__ scope of your script.
