@You : "...So the actual practical usage is an important factor, it's not worthwhile to put a lot of effort into optimizing things that are not causing an actual problem in real life use.

...For example if it currently takes 1 second to execute the script..."

If I want to use the script I'm attempting to create in order to cleanup a model made by thousands of curves (or edges),
specifying the length (in a range) dragging a slider, I don't think that we are talking about 1 second...I think much longer.

Anyway, I want to thank you for your suggestion and I will write here the results of my speed test of this kind of codes (loop).

Please consider that execution time in loop is very important if I want later to translate this cleanup scripts into nodes
for P. Elephant.

There, usually we drag slider to easily input values, and when you drag a slider and the code is not optimized,
the slowness is very evident.

This is what I want to do.
First write this cleanup script and then translate them for P. Elephant.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi Marco, so for the slider case it should definitely work to get the lengths once when it first starts up, and then refer back to that when the sliders are manipulated rather than doing it every time.

And if a loop through the cached lengths is taking significant time for the loop itself it should also be possible to optimize the script in other ways that are specific to its own particular needs. For example after gathering the lengths it could sort them so it could do a binary search rather than a full loop. But I would recommend a simple approach first.

These methods are appropriate to implement within the script itself, I would not expect to implement them in MoI's API directly. The stuff at the API level is more for general purpose stuff that may be used by many different scripts.

Yes! I was thinking about this solution too.

Thanks a lot for suggestion.

OK Michael. Understood :)

I hope that for V4 you could add at least "getArea()" method.....but I hope more...

Thank you very much for this very interesting conversation.

Have a nice day.

You're welcome Marco!

Hi Michael.

So...after the long conversation I've produced some little thing.

I hope that this is only the first step :)

Please read it at http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8608.1

Thanks a lot.
