vcFrameSet

vcFrameSet is a type of geometry set that contains a collection of frames.

Properties

Name	Type	Access	Description
FrameCount	Integer	R	Gets the number of frames in set.

Name	Return Type	Parameters	Description
createFrame	None	vcMatrix	Creates a new frame in set.
deleteFrame	None	Integer index	Deletes a frame at a given index from set.
getFrame	vcMatrix	Integer index	Returns the position matrix of a frame at a given index in set.
setFrame	None	Integer index, vcMatrix frame_matrix	Sets the position matrix of a frame at a given index in set.
update	None	None	Updates all frames in set, thereby updating the set's bound box.

Example. Create a ring of frames in a set

from vcScript import *

import vcMatrix

app = getApplication()

comp = getComponent()

#simple demo that clears geometry sets in root node Geometry container

#you could also use a Geometry feature and its Geometry container for this demo

gc = comp.UserGeometry

gc.clear()

fs = gc.createGeometrySet(VC_FRAMESET) # type: vcFrameSet

#create full circle of frames in set

degrees = 360

for i in xrange(degrees):

mtx = vcMatrix.new()

mtx.translateAbs(1000.0, 0.0, 0.0)

mtx.rotateAbsY(degrees)

fs.createFrame(mtx)

degrees = degrees - 1

fs.update()

gc.update()

app.render()
