Scripting with Scheme and Python

[ivla]

Next (but not last) version of script, with profile selection and acceptable thread endings.

Some difficulties (example with profile #6):

If two points in profile have the same vertical coordinate then it "glues" or "doubles" in ending profile.
Subsequent "Cleanup" helps, but it's not nice.
Thinking...

ivla, thanks for sharing your scripting.

I would like to suggest you to store these files somewhere else. The space reserved for users here at the forum is very limited unfortunately.

Another advantage I see in use that is that we can just update the original file when we fix/improve something and it will be OK for all the links to it that were already spread on the forum.

[ivla]

OK. got it.

Initial version.
Makes slice of the cylinder:


UPD: This appears as built-in option of the "cylinder" primitive in Wings3D v2.4.

Hello,

It's been a while since the last build so I should have a new build soon, there's been some changes to the "command" type scripts (as that is still a work in progress). After that I'll be making a pull request to add the scripting plugin to wings.

The plugin has also been refactored a little bit so it can be possible to add additional scripting languages without changing anything in the plugin code itself, it would require making a bunch of "init" script code and helper classes for each new scripting language though. I'll be only focusing on the two current scripting languages for now.

The plugin preference dialog now uses wings ui dialog instead of wxDialog, many thanks to micheus help to change it over.

I almost have a new build, I needed to test the different new features and there's still a few small things to adjust.

Parameters will now have dropdown lists, checkboxes and radio buttons, example:

Code:

params {
  param "Width" "0.5"
  param "Height" "1.0"
  checkbox "Use feature" "true"
  menu "Type" "cube" {
    item "Cube" "cube"
    item "Cone" "cone"
  }
}

And for even more flexibility, it will also be possible to create advanced layouts by erlang term directly:

Code:

params {
  adv_params begin
    {vframe, [
      {hframe, [
        {label, ?__(1,"Label")},
        {text, 0.5, [{key,etc}]}
      ]},
      {?__(2,"Checkbox"),true,[{key,key1}]}
    ]}
  end.
}
