Hi,
<div class="">I have a user that supplies me with a text file of ellipsoids specified by location, rotation, and axis, from which I plan to create Spheres modified by the Transform operator to make ellipsoids. I can write a function that basically does this:
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">ellipsoids = open(filename, 'r').read()</div>
<div class="">for ellipse in ellipsoids:</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>sphere1 = Sphere()</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>renderView1 = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>sphere1Display = Show(sphere1, renderView1)<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>transform1 = Transform(Input=sphere1)<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>transform1.Transform = 'Transform'<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>transform1.Transform.Translate = [0.0, 2.0, 0.0]<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>transform1.Transform.Rotate = [0.0, 65.0, 76.0]<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>transform1.Transform.Scale = [1.0, 2.0, 1.0]<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>transform1Display = Show(transform1, renderView1)<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My question is, how can I use this approach to provide her a macro in the GUI somehow to read her file and populate her scene with ellipsoids? I hope this question is clear enough. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks. </div>
