Parametric design in MoI?

Hi Max,

>> added Style property in the Output node

Thank you very much for this new feature!

It's exactly what i wanted.

P.S.

I noticed that the "Circle" node only generates one single circle whatever the input "pointarray" is.

So i wrote a little modified version called "Circles" that generates as many as the points contained in the array.

Furthermore, it is possible to limit the total number of generated circle, to a specified amount.

This amount can be >=1 AND <= the number of points contained in the array.

And is also possible to specify a step amount for the for-loop.

Here's the code :

code:
// Circles
function Circles()
{
	this.addInput("Center","pointarray");
	this.addInput("Radius","number");
	this.addInput("Elements","number");
	this.addInput("Step","number");
	this.addOutput("Out","objectlist");
	this.properties = { radius:1, elements:1, step:1 };
}

Circles.title = "Circles";
Circles.desc = "Circles";

Circles.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
	var output = moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList();
	var centers = this.getInputData(0, new pointArray());
	var len = centers.getLength();
	this.properties.radius = this.getInputData(1, this.properties.radius);
	this.properties.elements = this.getInputData(2, this.properties.elements);
	if (this.properties.elements <= 0) this.properties.elements = 1;
	this.properties.step = this.getInputData(3, this.properties.step);
	if (this.properties.step <= 0) this.properties.step = 1;
	if (this.properties.step > len) this.properties.step = len;
	for (i = 0; i < len && i < this.properties.elements; i += this.properties.step) {
		var cir = factory( 'circle', true, centers.getFrame(i), null, this.properties.radius );
		output.addObject(cir.item(0));
	}	
	this.setOutputData(0, output);
}

LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Curves/Circles", Circles);



I've also done the "GetBBoxes" node that follow the same logic.

Here's the code :

code:
function GetBBoxes()
{
	this.addInput("In","objectlist");
	this.addInput("Elements","number");
	this.addInput("Step","number");	
	this.addOutput("Out","objectlist");
	this.addOutput("BBox Center","pointarray");
	this.properties = { elements:0, step:1 };

}

GetBBoxes.title = "BoundingBoxes";
GetBBoxes.desc = "Get BoundingBoxes";

GetBBoxes.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
	var input = this.getInputData(0, moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList());
	var len = input.length;
	var bbox = new pointArray();
	
	this.properties.elements = this.getInputData(1, this.properties.elements);
	if ((this.properties.elements <= 0) || (this.properties.elements > len)) this.properties.elements = len;
	this.properties.step = this.getInputData(2, this.properties.step);
	if (this.properties.step <= 0) this.properties.step = 1;
	if (this.properties.step > len) this.properties.step = len;
		
	this.setOutputData(0, input);
	
	for (i = 0; i < len && i < this.properties.elements; i += this.properties.step) {
		bbox.pushPoint(input.item(i).getBoundingBox().center);
	}
	this.setOutputData(1, bbox);
}

LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Objects/GetBBoxes", GetBBoxes);


Have a nice day.

Marco.
