GHPython's ZUI Functionalities

Hi all,

I have a question about using the GHPython library. I’m curious how to use the dynamic nature of the ZUI functionality in a script, such as automating a script to incorporate / disassociate input parameters as they are created / removed.

For example: "if either the CanInsertParameter or the CanRemoveParameter is called, then insert/remove appropriate arg and index"

Please let me know if I can clarify anything. Thanks in advance for looking into this with me.

Best,

/SPM

Hi Stephen

I think this should get you started:

#we can get to the current GH_ComponentParamServer, #then get its inputs: inputs = ghenv.Component.Params.Input #we can use a for loop, or we could also get #the amount using inputs.Count for input in inputs: name = input.Name #eval() will let us "grab" the variable #from the environment value = eval(name) #we can then do stuff with it print(value)

Does it help? (I also attached here a definition with that code).

This is great, Giulio. Much more straightforward than I initially thought. Thanks for leading me down the right path.

Please only note that this type of dynamic input will not lend itself to being compiled. However, I do not think this is your goal here, so you should be fine.
