Using a cluster (or a new component I created) in ghPython

Hi,

I have a new cluster named: "CurveSimilarity", and want to use this cluster in the ghPython component (or in any other way in ghPython)

I thought I need to add this cluster in the tool bar and only after that to use it that way:

import ghpythonlib.components as ghcomp

res = ghcomp.CurveSimilarity(crv1, crv2)

How do I do each step?

Thanks!

Hi NaamaGal

at the time of writing, Python components are excluded from ghpythonlib.components.

You see, there is a problem of choosing what is more important:

1. is it more important that compiled component are able to use ghpythonlib.components?

2. is it more important that compiled components can be found within ghpythonlib.components?

The two options pretty much exclude one another. Otherwise, a GhPython component could be used to compile a compiled component that uses another compiled component via ghpythonlib.components. Given the current implmentation and the limitations of the Grasshopper SDK, which component should be loaded first?

Presently, option 1 was chosen.
