Macros - nortikin/sverchok GitHub Wiki

Macros are bits of code that you wish to execute often.

see this thread which covers more elaborate macros, as well as simple ones

Usage

• ctrl+space will trigger a new search bar.

• The search database is loaded with

  • All nodes (shows Node Name (bl_label) and Description

  • Several default macros ( shown by > )

    • obj vd (single object to vdmk2)
    • objs vd (multi object to vdmk2)
    • sn petal (auto loads petalsine in snlite)
    • zen (the zen of sverchok, shows my tumblr post about the zen of it all)

  • (optionally) User Driven Macros ( shown by < ) These need to be created by the user in /datafiles/sverchok/user_macros/macros.py .

    to find where you should place these macros.py, run this from the TextEditor, and see what it prints

    import os
    import bpy
    datafiles = os.path.join(bpy.utils.user_resource('DATAFILES', path='sverchok', create=True))
    print(datafiles)
    

    output

    # ubuntu
    /home/username/.config/blender/2.78/datafiles/sverchok
    
    # windows
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78\datafiles\sverchok
    

    macros.py

    """
    This file demonstrates a few features that can be used in a macro
    """
    
    def domo_esta(self, context):
        """ info about domo esta /// will ignore this"""
        active_node = context.active_node
        print('mouse:', context.space_data.cursor_location)
        if active_node:
            print(active_node.name)
            print(active_node.location)
            print(active_node.bl_idname)
    
    
    def domo_esta4(self, context, a=10, b=140):
        """ info about domo esta4 """
        print(a, b)
    
    

    That produces this when you type <
