How do I add custom functions to a custom plugin?
Hi,
I am working on CustomNode plugin. I have my custom node up and running fine. Now I would like to add my own functions to the plugin. Can anyone show me how that's done? It's not in the CustomNode example. Thanks a lot. Best regards Raymond |

Here is a small example that uses the skydome plugin to show how to customize a plugin object. Usually you create your own Python module that specifies your class. In this example, create a file called SkyDome.py and add the following code to it:
Code:
import viz class SkyDomeClass(viz.VizCustomChild): def myfunc(self): self.command(1) viz.upgradeCustomNode('skydome.dlc',SkyDomeClass) def addSkyDome(): return viz.add('skydome.dlc') Code:
import viz viz.go() dome = addSkyDome() dome.myfunc() |

Hi,
Aha, ok, it's starting to make sense... This command is then calling the C++ class func void CommandCustomNode(void *custom) ? (from the CustomNode example) Is there not a direct way of calling the CommandCustomNode() func? Isn't it exposed via the python module? thanks Raymond |

Also, I would like to specify arguments when the plugin is loaded, so that I can specify these arguments to my constructor.
thanks, Raymond |

When you create the custom node object, you can optionally specify additional arguments:
Code:
mynode = viz.add('mynode.dlc',command,mesg,x,y,z,w) Code:
mynode.command(command,mesg,x,y,z,w) |

Hi,
So this way I don't need to create a python class, right? I like the last way better. Thanks a lot Raymond |

You don't have to create a Python class for you custom nodes. Wrapping your custom commands with proper functions usually makes the code easier to read, and this is the main reason to do it. It's 100% optional though.

It's all clear to me right. And working :-)
Thanks a lot for your support. Best regards Raymond |
