Hello,

I would like to know how could I insert a picture showing the parameters concerning my own macro

For exemple, if the macro draws a box, the user has to enter 3 parameters

image

When I execute the macro, it opens correctly, but there is no picture

image

 

For exemple, if you want to create an InfiniteBox, there is a picture showing you de dimensions you have to enter

image

You can even make the picture visible or invisible with the "Image" (in french version) button.
   

Does anyone know how to do this?

Regards!

Andres

    Hi,

    There is an example of macro inside there a script allows to add a picture in the macro. The macro is:

    reateInitialNonMeshedCoilFor3DRadialMotor.PFM

    It is available in:

    C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\flux\Extensions\Macros\Macros_Flux3D_Physics\CreateInitialNonMeshedCoilFor3DRadialMotor.PFM

    The part of the scrip is :

    if isActif ==False:

     

    INSTALL = os.environ["INSTALLFLUX"]+ os.path.sep + ".."

    image_filename = INSTALL+os.path.sep+"Extensions"+os.path.sep+"Macros"+os.path.sep+"Macros_Flux3D_Physics"+os.path.sep+"CreateInitialNonMeshedCoilFor3DRadialMotor.PFM"+os.path.sep+ "CreateInitialNonMeshedCoilFor3DRadialMotor.jpg"

    print image_filename

     image = imageio.ImageIO.read(io.File(image_filename))

    frame = JFrame('DATA Description',

               defaultCloseOperation = JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE,

               size = (1290,870))

    label = JLabel(ImageIcon(image))

    label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.RIGHT);

    label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.BOTTOM);

    frame.add(label)

    frame.setAlwaysOnTop(True)

    frame.visible = True

     

    Best regards.

    Hello,

    It works fine.

    It is not exactly like in the InfineBox example. The picture appears in a separate window. But it is actually still better like this

    Thank you very much!!

    Regards!
