Creating a FeaturePython Box, Part II/fr

App::FeaturePython vs. Part::FeaturePython
Jusqu'à présent, nous nous sommes concentrés sur les aspects internes d'une classe Python construite autour d'un objet FeaturePython - en particulier, un objet App::FeaturePython object. Nous avons créé l'objet, défini certaines propriétés et ajouté des rappels d'événements au niveau du document qui permettent à notre objet de répondre à un recalcul de document avec la méthode.

Mais nous n'avons toujours pas de boîte.

Cependant, nous pouvons facilement en créer une en ajoutant seulement deux lignes.

Tout d'abord, ajoutez une nouvelle importation en haut du fichier:

Ensuite, dans, ajoutez la ligne suivante (vous pouvez supprimer l'instruction ):

Ces commandes exécutent des scripts python fournis avec FreeCAD par défaut.
 * La méthode génère une nouvelle forme de boîte.
 * L'appel englobant à ajoute la forme à l'arborescence du document et la rend visible.

Si FreeCAD est ouvert, rechargez le module boîte et créez un nouvel objet boîte en utilisant (supprimez tous les objets boîte existants, juste pour garder les choses propres).

Remarquez comment une boîte apparaît immédiatement à l'écran: la méthode est appelée immédiatement après la création de la boîte et nous forçons le document à recalculer à la fin de.



Mais il y a un problème.

Cela devrait être assez évident. La boîte elle-même est représentée par un objet entièrement différent de notre objet FeaturePython. La raison en est que crée un objet boîte séparé et l'ajoute au document. En fait, si vous accédez à votre objet FeaturePython et modifiez les dimensions, vous verrez une autre forme de boîte créée et l'ancienne laissée en place. Ce n'est pas bon! De plus, si la vue du rapport est ouverte, vous pouvez remarquer une erreur indiquant 'Les recalculs imbriqués d'un document ne sont pas autorisés'. Cela a à voir avec l'utilisation de la méthode Part.show dans un objet FeaturePython. Nous voulons éviter de faire cela.

Truc

Le problème est que nous nous appuyons sur les méthodes, qui ne génèrent que des objets Part::Feature non paramétriques (formes simples et stupides), tout comme vous obtiendriez si vous copiez un objet paramétrique à l'aide de Part Copie simple.

Ce que nous voulons, bien sûr, est un objet boîte paramétrique qui redimensionne la boîte existante lorsque nous modifions ses propriétés. Nous pourrions supprimer l'objet Part::Feature précédent et le régénérer à chaque fois que nous modifions une propriété, mais nous avons encore deux objets à gérer - notre objet FeaturePython personnalisé et l'objet Part::Feature qu'il génère.

So how do we solve this problem?

First, we need to use the right type of object.

To this point we've been using objects. They're great, but they're not intended for use as geometry objects. Rather, they are better used as document objects which do not require a visual representation in the 3D view. So we need to use a object ibstead.

In, change the following line:

obj = App.ActiveDocument.addObject('App::FeaturePython', obj_name)

to read:

obj = App.ActiveDocument.addObject('', obj_name)

To finish making the changes we need, the following line in the method needs to be changed:

Part.show(Part.makeBox(obj.Length, obj.Width, obj.Height))

to:

obj.Shape = Part.makeBox(obj.Length, obj.Width, obj.Height)

Your code should look like this:

import FreeCAD as App import Part def create(obj_name): """  Object creation method   """ obj = App.ActiveDocument.addObject('Part::FeaturePython', obj_name) fpo = box(obj) App.ActiveDocument.recompute return fpo class box: def __init__(self, obj): """      Default Constructor       """ self.Type = 'box' obj.addProperty('App::PropertyString', 'Description', 'Base', 'Box description').Description = "" obj.addProperty('App::PropertyLength', 'Length', 'Dimensions', 'Box length').Length = 10.0 obj.addProperty('App::PropertyLength', 'Width', 'Dimensions', 'Box width').Width = '10 mm' obj.addProperty('App::PropertyLength', 'Height', 'Dimensions', 'Box height').Height = '1 cm' obj.Proxy = self self.Object = obj def execute(self, obj): """      Called on document recompute       """ obj.Shape = Part.makeBox(obj.Length, obj.Width, obj.Height)



Now, save your changes and switch back to FreeCAD. Delete any existing objects, reload the box module, and create a new box object.

The results may seem a bit mixed. The icon in the treeview is different - it's a box, now. But there's no cube. And the icon is still gray!

What happened? Although we've properly created our box shape and assigned it to a object, before we can make it show up in our 3D view, we need to assign a ViewProvider.

Writing a ViewProvider
A View Provider is the component of an object which allows it to have visual representation in the GUI - specifically in the 3D view. FreeCAD uses an application structure known as 'model-view', which is designed to separate the data (the 'model') from it's visual representation (the 'view'). If you've spent any time working with FreeCAD in Python, you'll likely already be aware of this through the use of two core Python modules: FreeCAD and FreeCADGui (often aliased as 'App' and 'Gui' repectively).

Thus, our FeaturePython Box implementation also requires these elements. Thus far, we've focused purely on the 'model' portion, so now it's time to write the 'view'. Fortunately, most view implementations are simple and require little effort to write, at least to get started. Here's an example ViewProvider, borrowed and slightly modified from

class ViewProviderBox: def __init__(self, obj): """       Set this object to the proxy object of the actual view provider        """ obj.Proxy = self def attach(self, obj): """       Setup the scene sub-graph of the view provider, this method is mandatory        """ return def updateData(self, fp, prop): """       If a property of the handled feature has changed we have the chance to handle this here        """ return def getDisplayModes(self,obj): """       Return a list of display modes.        """ return None def getDefaultDisplayMode(self): """       Return the name of the default display mode. It must be defined in getDisplayModes.        """ return "Shaded" def setDisplayMode(self,mode): """       Map the display mode defined in attach with those defined in getDisplayModes.        Since they have the same names nothing needs to be done.        This method is optional.        """ return mode def onChanged(self, vp, prop): """       Print the name of the property that has changed        """ App.Console.PrintMessage("Change property: " + str(prop) + "\n") def getIcon(self): """       Return the icon in XMP format which will appear in the tree view. This method is optional and if not defined a default icon is shown.        """ return """           /* XPM */            static const char * ViewProviderBox_xpm[] = {            "16 16 6 1",            " 	c None",            ".	c #141010",            "+	c #615BD2",            "@	c #C39D55",            "#	c #000000",            "$	c #57C355",            "        ........",            "   ......++..+..",            "   .@@@@.++..++.",            "   .@@@@.++..++.",            "   .@@  .++++++.",            "  ..@@  .++..++.",            "###@@@@ .++..++.",            "##$.@@$#.++++++.",            "#$#$.$$$........",            "#$$#######      ",            "#$$#$$$$$#      ",            "#$$#$$$$$#      ",            "#$$#$$$$$#      ",            " #$#$$$$$#      ",            "  ##$$$$$#      ",            "   #######      "};            """ def __getstate__(self): """       Called during document saving.        """ return None def __setstate__(self,state): """"       Called during document restore. """"       return None

Note in the above code, we also define an XMP icon for this object. Icon design is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but basic icon designs can be managed using open source tools like GIMP, Krita, and Inkscape. The getIcon method is optional, as well. If it is not provided, FreeCAD will provide a default icon.

With out ViewProvider defined, we now need to put it to use to give our object the gift of visualization.

Return to the method in your code and add the following near the end:

ViewProviderBox(obj.ViewObject)

This instances the custom ViewProvider class and passes the FeaturePython's built-in ViewObject to it. The ViewObject won't do anything without our custom class implementation, so when the ViewProvider class initializes, it saves a reference to itself in the FeaturePython's ViewObject.Proxy attribute. This way, when FreeCAD needs to render our Box visually, it can find the ViewProvider class to do that.

Now, save the changes and return to FreeCAD. Import or reload the Box module and call.

We still don't see anything, but notice what happened to the icon next to the box object. It's in color! And it has a shape! That's a clue that our ViewProvider is working as expected.

So now, it's time to actually *add* a box.

Return to the code and add the following line to the execute method:

obj.Shape = Part.makeBox(obj.Length, obj.Width, obj.Height)

Now save, reload the box module in FreeCAD and create a new box.

You should see a box appear on screen! If it's too big (or maybe doesn't show up at all), click one of the 'ViewFit' buttons to fit it to the 3D view.

Note what we did here that differs from the way it was implemented for App::FeaturePython above. In the method, we called the  macro and passed it the box properties as before. But rather than call on the resulting object (which created a new, separate box object), we simply assigned it to the  property of our Part::FeaturePython object instead.

You can even alter the box dimensions by changing the values in the FreeCAD property panel. Give it a try!

Trapping Events
To this point, we haven't explicitly addressed event trapping. Nearly every method of a FeaturePython class serves as a callback accessible to the FeaturePython object (which gets access to our class instance through the attribute, if you recall).

Below is a list of the callbacks that may be implemented in the basic FeaturePython object:

In addition, there are two callbacks in the ViewProvider class that may occasionally prove useful:
