List,
I know python and I know Maya, but I've never mixed the two. I have a marking
menu written with pymel. The menu itself works. The question is, how do I
assign it to a hotkey? With MEL, in the hotkey editor, you get code like this::
// Press:
if (`popupMenu -exists tempMM`) { deleteUI tempMM; }
popupMenu -button 1 -ctl false -alt false -allowOptionBoxes true
-parent `findPanelPopupParent` -mm 1 tempMM;
source "menu_foo";
// Release::
if (`popupMenu -exists tempMM`) { deleteUI tempMM; }
What's the python equivalent? I *guessed* something like this, but I don't
think it's right:
# Press:
try:
tempMM.delete()
except NameError:
pass
finally:
import pymel_foo
# Release:
try:
tempMM.delete()
except NameError:
pass
Finally, should I be wrapping my python in function i.e. 'main' and callling
that after I import, instead? E.g::
import foo
foo.main()
Here's my dummy marking menu::
import pymel.core.windows as pwin
import pymel.core.uitypes as ui
def amazing(*args):
'''Does something amazing.'''
print("amazing!")
def fantastic(*args):
print("fantastic!")
# The UI:
tempMM = ui.PopupMenu(parent="MayaWindow")
tempMM.setMarkingMenu()
tempMM.setAltModifier()
tempMM.setButton(1) #<-- Active with alt+left mouse button for now.
item1 = ui.CommandMenuItem(parent=tempMM)
item1.setLabel("Amazing")
item1.setRadialPosition("S")
item1.setCommand(pwin.Callback(amazing))
item2 = ui.CommandMenuItem(parent=tempMM)
item2.setLabel("Fantastic")
item2.setRadialPosition("N")
item2.setCommand(pwin.Callback(fantastic))
Thanks!
