00258: generic tcl data dump capability

« 00257 | Issues | 00259 »

Summary: generic tcl data dump capability

Created: 2010–07–28 14:59

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: jekstrand

Version: 2.1

Released_In: 2.2

Description:

sometimes when creating a gui or overlay or something that needs to collect data from tcl, a user has to walk through many commands to get all of the data they want. For example, they may have an overlay and need to collect:

• the xyz of a node
• the PYR of a different node
• the current framerate
• the current time
• etc.

This normally requires a sequence of commands to get all the data.

This is a request for the capability to define all these commands into a group and then have the capability to "dump" a particular group with a single command, returning all the data back in one shot.

# Returns a list of the current group ids
proc list_command_groups { }

# Creates a new empty command group
# Returns the group id of the newly created group
proc create_command_group { } 

# Appends a command to an existing group
# Returns:
#  >0: the new number of commands in the group
#  -1: specified groupid does not exist 
proc add_command_to_group { groupid cmd_string }

# Removes the command at the specifed index from an existing group
# Returns:
#  >0: the new number of commands in the group
#  -1: specified groupid does not exist
#  -2: specified cmd_index does not exist
proc remove_command_from_group { groupid cmd_index }

# Returns a list of commands in a group
#  -1: specified groupid does not exist
proc get_command_group { groupid }

# Fires the commands in a command group
# Returns:
#  list of resulta/error messagess from each command execution
#  -1: specified groupid does not exist
proc execute_command_group { groupid }
