Stalkerx777 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Hi, guys! Just wanted to share with you some of my experiments. huilib - is a simple Python wrapper around Houdini's native .ui language. It has been written "just for fun", so no warranty if it works for you, but I think it's pretty usable for a simple UI, in situations, when using PyQt is not an option Maybe someday we'll see something similar from SESI Feel free to use it. https://github.com/alexxbb/huilib Edited November 24, 2020 by Stalkerx777 Updated link 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doum Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Can we do something similar with pop up windows ? ei mixing drop down menu with text box and a 3 buttons selection? Maybe this lib can do that ? Sorry I'm still new to this programming world and I'm trying to create some basic tool, like loading cam(alembic) and create new scene with naming convention, etc ... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple pop up dialogs for simple things =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grau Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Very nice, I like how the code is almost the same as PyQt/PySide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riviera Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Very nice! Cheers! (Also, the function you use, hou.ui.createDialog() doesn't seem to be documented anywhere in the 13.0 docs, so your code is extra useful...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldleaf Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Very cool! Is there a way to use this library without launching Houdini? (I'm guessing not, but just in case...) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willow wafflebeard Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) thanks for the huilib nice tool. i found a little error in the HVector, i think i fixed it though by changing from assert 2 < size <= 4, "HVectorField size can be 2, 3 or 4" to assert 1 < size <= 4, "HVectorField size can be 2, 3 or 4" from the huilib.py i also found out that when i launch the interface and just run my code right away the setValue() outputs blank, instead of 0 which is what the interface seem to show. it fixes itself though if you drag the slider out and back to 0. then it outputs 0 i also have a problem with setValue() with HVector in 2d. it works if the size =3 but if its 2 and i tried self.someNameofVector.setValue([0,1]). or ((0,1)), it errors something like index out of range. with something about _multivalue thingy.

ftaswin Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks for this wonderful tool. I got 2 questions: 1. How to implement a proper HIconButton with built in icon? 2. Is there any way to query an opened window and close it first before committing a new one? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried many times, but couldn't make it work. Need to ask SESI support how to use ACTION_ICONBUTTON gadget. 2. Yes: # Find the dialog by name ui = huilib.findDialog('test') if ui: # If found you can show(), hide(), and close() it ui.close() will close and delete the dialog ui = TestDialog(name='test', title='Test UI') ui.show() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
