How can I set the Color of points of a Curve in a Python SOP?

[magneto]

I have a curve that I create using a custom Python SOP, but I also want to change point colors so they are not white.

I looked at the docs but there isn't a color property to set.

So I thought I probably need to set the CD attribute but I couldn't get it to work because never did this before in code. I tried setting the attrib value but it seems like points only has P, Pw (?) I think, when I listed them.

Do I have to create an attrib called CD first?

Anyone did this before?

Thanks.

Yes, you need to create the Cd attribute first if it doesn't already exist.

attr = geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Point, "Cd", (0.0, 0.0, 0.0))
for point in geo.points():
    point.setAttribValue(attr, some_color_tuple)
