tdp-touchutilcollection 0.6.1

A collection of practical utilities for TouchDesigner.

TouchUtilCollection

A collection of (hopefully) useful python-functions, methods and other trinkets.

Install via PIP, UV, Conda or whatever you like.

Not all are isted in the readme, see this as a list of "highlights"

tdasync

Bring asyncio to TD in this minimal wrapper.

from touchutilcollection.tdasync import execute
from asyncio import sleep
async def coro( waittime ):
    op("text1").text = "Starting Coro"
    await sleep(waittime)
    op("text1").text = "Done"
execute( coro(5) )

Powerfull with TauCetiTweener and the .Resolve() functionality.

Extension

Makes your live with extensions easier by allowing for autocreation of custompars.

class extExample( 
    EnsureExtension # Required
     ):
    class par:
        Foo = parfield(partypes.ParFloat)
        Bar = parfield(partypes.ParFloat, page ="Different", min = 0, max = 10)
        Baba = parfield( 
            partypes.ParMenu, 
            menuLabels=["Eins", "Zwei", "Drei" ], 
            menuNames=["1", "2", "3"], 
            bindExpr="op.Settings.par.Baba" 
        )

        def __init__(self, ownerComp) -> None:
            super().__init__(ownerComp) # Also required
            self.par.Foo.val = 23

Ensure

Ensure existence of components without having to manualy create them (or even see them. )

Ensure Tox

Ensure the existence of the given TOX-COMP using a global op shortcut.

from touchutilcollection.ensure import ensure_global_tox
from TauCeti import Tweener
TweenerComp = ensure_global_tox( Tweener.ToxFile, "TAUCETI_TWEENER" )

Ensure TDP

Takes values from a TDP and applies the same Logic.

from touchutilcollection.ensure import ensure_global_tox
from TauCeti import Tweener
TweenerComp = ensure_global_tox( Tweener )
