tdp-touchutilcollection 0.7.1

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.

from touchutilcollection.extensions import EnsureExtension, partypes, parfield, pargrouptypes, pargroupfield

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" 
        )

    class parGroup:
        Somergb = pargroupfield( pargrouptypes.ParGroupRGBA, size = 3, default = (2,2,2) )

    def __init__(self, ownerComp) -> None:
        super().__init__(ownerComp) # Also required
        self.par.Foo.val = 23
        self.parGroup.Somergb[0].val = 2 # access pars using index
        self.parGroup.default = (1,2,3) # same members as pars, but as touples. size needs to be considered!

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 )
