Creating an undo context in a fire and forget script

http://pastebin.com/AWNV6vGd

Your scripts can simply do

lx.eval('undo.init')

and it'll create an undo context for you.

Python

Using imp

import imp, os, os.path
def import_(filename):
    (path, name) = os.path.split(filename)
    (name, ext) = os.path.splitext(name)
    (file, filename, data) = imp.find_module(name, [path])
    return imp.load_module(name, file, filename, data)
jedi = import_(r'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\jedi')

Jedi completion

# Jedi completion example
 
import imp, os, os.path
 
def import_(filename):
    (path, name) = os.path.split(filename)
    (name, ext) = os.path.splitext(name)
    (file, filename, data) = imp.find_module(name, [path])
    return imp.load_module(name, file, filename, data)
 
jedi = import_(r'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\jedi')
 
s = '''import imp, os, os.path
os.p'''
 
script = jedi.Script (s, 2, 4, '')
c = script.completions()
c[8].complete

Rebuilding the python plugin

build clean: force: proj:extra\python
build init && build proj:extra\python
cd apps\modo && qmake repack

Finding the scene's workspace

assemblies = [asm for asm in modo.Scene().groups if asm.type=='assembly']
workspaces = [w for w in assemblies if ('SGID', 'workspace') in w.getTags().items()]

Get components

import Layers
l = Layers.GLOABL_LAYER_OBJECT
layer = l.getSelectedLayers()[0]
layer.getLayerType()
layer.getLayerKey()
#vl = layer.getVectorLayer()
feature = layer.getFeature()
print [modo.Item(i).channel('elid').get() for i in feature.getComponents()]

Locations to remember

• VectorImportSVGCommand
• ComponentPlacer::swapComponent, ComponentPlacer::replace2D, place2D
• ComponentPlacer::importSVGComponent
• CurveConstraint.cpp ModifierElement::Eval draws the components in 2d (and 3d of course)
• VectorImportSVGCommand::cmd_Execute
• Core\VectorTools\include\VectorTools\UI\SceneController.h
• VectorContextManager::removeScene

Oddly, 6 VectorContexts are created during l

VectorContextManager:

// This notification occurs after the Modo scene has finished loading.
// However vector layers may be created prior to this during serialization and
// will need to be added to a valid scene at that point. Because of this we will
// support lazy scene creation in 3 different places:
//
// 1. pins_newBorn - initial item creation, re-creation as a result of undo/redo.
// 2. pins_Loading - item created while loading a scene
// 3. sil_SceneCreate - to cover there case where we loaded a Modo scene with no layers it.
