i'm writing some scripts for Blender in the context my masterthesis. I want to create a new screen by my script. The layout of the screen should be defined by the script, too. There i've the problem, that i've graphical errors like shown in the following image:
The type of the area changes as you can see on the icon. But the user interface stays at a wrong type. This is the actual code to create this layout:
import bpy
class NewEmptyScreenOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
bl_idname = "wm.new_empty_screen"
bl_label = "New Empty Screen Operator"
def __new_screen(self):
old = bpy.data.screens.items()
bpy.ops.screen.new()
new = bpy.data.screens.items()
for i in new:
if not i in old:
return i
def __delete_areas(self, override):
areas = []
for i in override['screen'].areas:
areas.append([i.x, i.y, i.width, i.height])
def delete_area():
for i in range(0, len(areas)):
for j in range(0, len(areas)):
#identisch → auslassen
if i == j:
continue
if areas[i][0] == areas[j][0] and areas[i][2] == \
areas[j][2]:
#über
if areas[i][1] + areas[i][3] + 1 == areas[j][1]:
bpy.ops.screen.area_join(override, min_x = \
areas[i][0]+1, min_y = areas[i][1], max_x = \
areas[j][0]+1, max_y = areas[j][1]+1)
areas[i][3] = areas[i][3] + areas[j][3] + 1
del areas[j]
return
#unter
if areas[j][1] + areas[j][3] + 1 == areas[i][1]:
bpy.ops.screen.area_join(override, min_x = \
areas[j][0]+1, min_y = areas[j][1], max_x = \
areas[i][0]+1, max_y = areas[i][1]+1)
areas[j][3] = areas[j][3] + areas[i][3] + 1
del areas[i]
return
if areas[i][1] == areas[j][1] and areas[i][3] == \
areas[j][3]:
#rechts
if areas[i][0] + areas[i][2] + 1 == areas[j][0]:
bpy.ops.screen.area_join(override, min_x = \
areas[i][0]+1, min_y = areas[i][1], max_x = \
areas[j][0]+1, max_y = areas[j][1]+1)
areas[i][2] = areas[i][2] + areas[j][2] + 1
del areas[j]
return
#links
if areas[j][0] + areas[j][2] + 1 == areas[i][0]:
bpy.ops.screen.area_join(override, min_x = \
areas[j][0]+1, min_y = areas[j][1], max_x = \
areas[i][0]+1, max_y = areas[i][1]+1)
areas[j][2] = areas[j][2] + areas[i][2] + 1
del areas[i]
return
while len(areas)>1:
delete_area()
def __rename_screen(self, screen, new_name):
if(not self.__screen_existing(new_name)):
screen.name = new_name
else:
i = 1
while(self.__screen_existing(new_name + ".%03i" % i)):
i += 1
screen.name = new_name + ".%03i" % i
def __screen_existing(self, name):
for i in bpy.data.screens:
if(i.name == name):
return True
return False
def __set_areas(self, override):
override['area'] = override['screen'].areas[0]
override['region'] = override['screen'].areas[0].regions[0]
override['space_data'] = override['screen'].areas[0].spaces [0]
bpy.ops.screen.area_split(override, direction='HORIZONTAL', \
factor=0.99)
override['screen'].areas[1].type = 'INFO'
override['screen'].areas[0].type = 'VIEW_3D'
bpy.ops.screen.area_split(override, direction='VERTICAL', factor=0.8)
override['screen'].areas[2].type = 'OUTLINER'
def execute(self, context):
self.__old_screen_name = bpy.context.screen.name
new = self.__new_screen()
override = bpy.context.copy()
override['screen'] = new[1]
self.__delete_areas(override)
self.__rename_screen(override['screen'], "Simple")
self.__set_areas(override)
return {'FINISHED'}
def invoke(self, context, event):
self.execute(context)
return {'FINISHED'}
#test call
#bpy.ops.wm.new_empty_screen()
#bpy.ops.wm.new_empty_screen('INVOKE_DEFAULT')
def register():
bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)
if __name__ == "__main__":
register()
If I'm using the procedure __set_areas(self, override) seperately the error doesn't happens. This can be done manually or by a timer (what's more a workaround than a solution). How can I solve the problem without using a timer?
Thanks
