Method Details [hide private]

addCommand(self, name, command, shortcut, icon, tooltip, index, readonly)

 

Add a new command to this menu/toolbar. Note that when invoked, the command is automatically enclosed in an undo group, so that undo/redo functionality works. Optional arguments can be specified by name. Note that if the command argument is not specified, then the command will be auto-created as a "nuke.createNode()" using the name argument as the node to create.

Example: menubar = nuke.menu('Nuke') fileMenu = menubar.findItem('File') fileMenu.addCommand('NewCommand', 'print 10', shortcut='t')

Parameters:
  • name - The name for the menu/toolbar item. The name may contain submenu names delimited by '/' or '', and submenus are created as needed.
  • command - Optional. The command to add to the menu/toolbar. This can be a string to evaluate or a Python Callable (function, method, etc) to run.
  • shortcut - Optional. The keyboard shortcut for the command, such as 'R', 'F5' or 'Ctrl-H'. Note that this overrides pre-existing other uses for the shortcut.
  • icon - Optional. An icon for the command. This should be a path to an icon in the nuke.pluginPath() directory. If the icon is not specified, Nuke will automatically try to find an icon with the name argument and .png appended to it.
  • tooltip - Optional. The tooltip text, displayed on mouseover for toolbar buttons.
  • index - Optional. The position to insert the new item in, in the menu/toolbar. This defaults to last in the menu/toolbar.
  • readonly - Optional. True/False for whether the item should be available when the menu is invoked in a read-only context.
  • shortcutContext - Optional. Sets the shortcut context (0==Window, 1=Application, 2=DAG).
Returns: The menu/toolbar item that was added to hold the command
