set label parameter with Python

[csp]

Hi,

 

is it possible using Python to set the string of a Label parameter? I have a function which creates a path and I want this path to be visible in this Label. I am calling the function with a button. Also is it possible this this string to contain variables as '$F4' in order to be updated every frame?

 

cheers

Sure you can. Just grab the node and

node.parm('label').set('Something')

like on any other node parameter.

Remember that even if you have only one label named

'foo'

and you have couple columns added (for example 3), to modify third column in this label, you need to add number 3 to the label name:

node.parm('foo3').set('three')

But this is only when you have more than one column added. If it's only one it will be still named 'foo'

I have couple operators where I put into columns for example:

// column 1
Number of points before fuse:    `npoints(opinputpath(".",0))`
//column2 
Number of points after fuse:     `npoints(".")`

and display it on interface. Edited May 22, 2014 by mantragora
