[Sticky] -- Scripting Resources

[LeviFiction]

I'm sure you've read, the closest thing to encapsulation python has is to use a double Underscore in front of any methods or properties in the class. This doesn't prevent them from being accessed, only from being accessed directly and by accident. There are ways around this but, PSP will throw a fit claiming that there is no such method or property if you try and access it directly.

Well, I think this post does a decent job of explaining the issue: http://stupidpythonideas.blogspot.com/2 ... ation.html

Howdy! I'm using PSP 2020 and have been searching around for newer scripting APIs and documentation. Are there any more recent resources? Thanks!

3) Learn the Basics of Python

Can I suggest that when talking about leaning Python, that the major version is mentioned. recent PSPs uses 2.7x whereas a lot of online resources on Python use 3.x? Whilst there is a lot of similarity between versions 2 and 3, there are pitfalls - e.g. print 'x' rather than print('x'). (I haven't checked the version in 2020 but I recall I had to use a Trusted script to access the version information in 2018.)

True PSP has gone through Python versions 2.2 up to 2.7 since it originally started using Python as its scripting engine. So it's always the 2.x version of Python we need to learn. And yes 2020 is still on 2.7.5.

I don't know if they're slow to it because of the whole backwards compatibility thing with older scripts, or if it's just because they custom compile their version of Python that they aren't keeping up. The whole custom compile thing is very annoying, it prevents us from using libraries like Numpy and Pillow for faster effects.

I can not find a scripting resource that explains how to get pixel attributes such as color. Any links?

[LeviFiction]

To get a pixel's color you need to use the EyeDropper command and the GetMaterial commands.

EyeDropper API command page
GetMaterial API command page

There is no built-in method for getting pixel properties or working directly with the image data.

Somewhere in 2020 the provider ziggo, removed the webspace

So that link in the first post does not work anymore:

Thank you, the link has been updated to a wayback machine URL that points to an archived version of the site.
