Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Subject: Python Scripts UI dockable Palette

Does it exist a python dockable UI palette where we can add mulitple python scripts (at wheel, with a slider on the palette) with .png icons (or w/o) ? And that we can have mutiple of them (palettes) with different python scripts in each ?

'XA - Toolbar for Poser' + the free AVfix is what you want. Both can be set to auto-launch when you load Poser 11. I've no idea if the Toolbar works yet in Poser 12. No "wheels" or "sliders", so far as I recall, though - a sample graphic would help us visualise what you mean there.

Is it really so hard to write a UI control for that? Or to store anything needed in seperate cells from a wx.GridBag?

Just out of curiosity: What is a slider good for when selecting a Python script to run?

I still didn't put my hands at all in the UI part of python (wx module) that can help for poser, so i don't really know what is hard or not. I just imagine that the dockable part or slider could be. (and the png icons maybe) By slider, i just want to be sure that if you have more icons that the palette can offer in dimension, you'll have a slider to reach the hidden icons, Especially if you dock it. But maybe the palette can manage that by default.

i imagine having these multiple simple toolbars for my differents workflow. I don't like the default poser script window this toolbar could be fine and more ike the menu toolbar it would be great.

When i'll have time, i'll try to do it.

Ah, I see. You mean a "scrollable window". And yes, some wxPython controls offer that.

I'm not an UI specialist. Not patient enough for this and too used to typing into a console :)

On the other hand, I'm pretty familiar with wxPython as far as programming goes. wxPython is a bit overcomplicated for my taste and comes with an overwelming set of functionality. It usually takes a bit of time to get along with it smoothly.

Biggest advantage: It can be seamlessly integrated into the Posers UI (I have already shown several times how to do this over the years; try the forum history).

If you are interested, we can develop such a tool here in the forum. Just send me a "Go" to start :)

The Framework shouldn't be that complicated and fast to do. Testing, adding "Bling-Bling" and some useful functionality is more work :)

Yes, we will probably do that ! I just can't say when i can give a go on this for the moment. And i am not a pro dev coder i'm just an amateur scripter, so don't except me to reach your level of coding.

That's fine. Maybe you can call yourself a pro after we are done with this ;)
