Can I retrieve FreehandSelection point list?

[dangelic0]

Is there a way to retrieve the properties - namely the SelectionPointList - of a FreehandSelection from a script? I am hoping to create a script that allows for semi-interactive adjustments to an existing arbitrary point-to-point selection. I see how I can reset the selection - that will be easy. But I would like to start with providing the user with the list of points that are already made, and allowing her/him to adjust it.

Thanks in advance

From a current free-hand selection? No.

Freehand selections are converted to a raster selection so the points are lost. They also aren't kept in the command history.

I personally cannot think of any way to grab this information as you'd have to be grabbing it as the user is using the free-hand selection tool. Or they would have to be recording a script, save the selection to a quick script, or save the image as a PSPImage where you can read through the file format and find the history data. There is no good way that I can think of to grab this information in PSP.

OK. Good to know. I was trying to start out with an approximate selection hand drawn, and then have the script display the corner points, and accept input from the user to nudge them to the exact points I want.

What I may do instead is something like:
* start with no selection
* solicit the user for a set of points; use them to make the FreeHand selection
* maintain the points within script variables, and
* then solicit the user for adjustments

Trying to create a script I can use to hand draw a "Low Poly" covering of an image

I hope it works

GetRasterSelectionRect might work for you. It will work with a freehand selection and provide points that encompass an irregular selection.

Code: Select all

	# Freehand Selection
	App.Do( Environment, 'FreehandSelection', {
			'General': {
				'Mode': App.Constants.SelectionOperation.Add, 
				'Antialias': True, 
				'Feather': 0, 
				'SampleMerged': False
				}, 
			'FreehandSelectionType': App.Constants.FreehandSelectionType.PointToPoint, 
			'Selection': [((146.5,244.5),),((66.5,212.5),),((77.5,142.5),),((165.5,138.5),),((127.5,177.5)
				,),((215.5,242.5),),((155.5,256.5),),((145.5,246.5),)], 
			'Range': 10, 
			'TraceDistance': 3, 
			'Smoothing': 0, 
			'GeneralSettings': {
				'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default, 
				'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match, 
				'Version': ((20,0,0),1)
				}
			})

	Selection=App.Do( Environment, 'GetRasterSelectionRect')
	print Selection

In the selection shown, the Start point is (66,138).
The End point would be (216, 257) : (66 + 150) and (138 + 119)
