Open UV View (Uv Editor ) in Python

[Nour Almasri]

Hello ,

I'm looking for a way in python to open UV View (UV Editor) in a separate window , any help .

[Nour Almasri]

import hou

desktop = hou.ui.curDesktop()
pane = desktop.createFloatingPane(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer)

# Get the display settings
settings = pane.curViewport().settings()

I did this code which open a new window for the scene viewer , but missing the last step to switch it to Uv View  .

I've been looking for it and what I was able to find was just: hou.geometryViewportType.UV

This is used to test if the current viewport is for example a UV viewport. For example:

import hou

cur = hou.ui.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer,0)
viewport = cur.curViewport()
if viewport.type() == hou.geometryViewportType.UV:
    print "is UV viewport"
else:
    print "is not UV viewport"

Also there is GeometryViewportSettings and viewportType but I have not been able to make them work correctly

import hou

cur = hou.ui.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer,0)
hou.hscript('viewtype -t uv Build.%s.world.persp1' % cur.name())

import hou 

desktop = hou.ui.curDesktop()
pane = desktop.createFloatingPane(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer)
# Assuming your newly created pane index is 1
cur = hou.ui.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer, 1)
viewport = cur.curViewport()
viewport.changeType(hou.geometryViewportType.UV)

Hope this helps
