NumPy to point arrayAttributes

[Duder]

It looks like it's possible to set point attributes all at once instead of looping through them one at a time.

I was trying to do it with NumPy, but can't quite get it right. Seems to be problem with the custom attribute being an array.

Given an array with the same shape,i.e., number of points x array size it looks like it should work, but doesn't.

Incidentally, the NumPy array will contain data from a file. I can't tell there's a better way to pull file data straight into something like VEX, hence the NumPy array.

Here's my test code:

node = hou.pwd()
g = node.geometry()


pt0 = [1.0, 0.0, 0.0]
point = g.createPoint()
point.setPosition(pt0)

pt_1 = [0.5, 0.5, -1.0]
point_2 = g.createPoint()
point_2.setPosition(pt_1)

pt_2 = [1.5, -2.5, 0.0]
point_3 = g.createPoint()
point_3.setPosition(pt_2)


g.addArrayAttrib(hou.attribType.Point, "MyFloats", hou.attribData.Float, 8)
gp = g.points()


# This works fine
'''
gb0 = (0.5, 0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.6, 0.2, 0.3, 0.8)
gp[0].setAttribValue("MyFloats", gb0)

gb1 = (0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
gp[1].setAttribValue("MyFloats", gb1)

gb2 = (0.7, 0.6, 0.1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.2, 0.8, 0.9)
gp[2].setAttribValue("MyFloats", gb2)
'''


import numpy as np
y = np.arange(24, dtype=np.float32).reshape(3,8)
g.setPointFloatAttribValues("MyFloats", y)   # error
print g.pointFloatAttribValues("MyFloats")   # error
