        FlipbookApplication
Known Subclasses:

An interface, for so far as Python supports it. To add support for a flipbook this needs to be subclassed and the 3 methods implemented. The default implementation just raises an exception so any sub implementer will soon find out whether his implementation works.

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

source code 

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__
(inherited documentation)

name(self)

source code 

Return the name of the flipbook.

Returns:
String

path(self)

source code 

Return the executable path required to run a flipbook.

Returns:
String

cacheDir(self)

source code 

Return the preferred directory for rendering.

Returns:
String

runFromNode(self, nodeToFlipbook, frameRanges, views, options)

source code 

Execute the flipbook on a node. This method will use the node's filename to call run()

Parameters:
  • node - The node to run the flipbook
  • frameRanges - A FrameRanges object representing the range that should be flipbooked. Note that in 6.2v1-2 this was a FrameRange object.
  • views - A list of strings comprising of the views to flipbook. Willnot be more than the maximum supported by the flipbook.
  • options - A dictionary of options to use. This may contain the keys pixelAspect, roi, dimensions, audio and lut. These contain a float, a dict with bounding box dimensions, a dict with width and height, a path to audio file and a string indicating the LUT conversion to apply.
Returns:
None

run(self, path, frameRanges, views, options)

source code 

Execute the flipbook on a path.

Parameters:
  • path - The path to run the flipbook on. This will be similar to /path/to/foo%03d.exr
  • frameRanges - A FrameRanges object representing the range that should be flipbooked. Note that in 6.2v1-2 this was a FrameRange object.
  • views - A list of strings comprising of the views to flipbook. Willnot be more than the maximum supported by the flipbook.
  • options - A dictionary of options to use. This may contain the keys pixelAspect, roi, dimensions, audio and lut. These contain a float, a dict with bounding box dimensions, a dict with width and height, a path to audio file and a string indicating the LUT conversion to apply.
Returns:
None

capabilities(self)

source code 

Return the capabilities of the flipbook application. Currently used are: proxyScale: bool, whether the flipbook supports proxies crop: bool, whether the flipbook supports crops canPreLaunch: bool, whether the flipbook can display a frames that are still being rendered by Nuke. maximumViews: int, the number of views supported by this flipbook, should be 1 or higher. fileTypes: list, the extensions of the file types supported by this format. Must all be lowercase, e.g ["exr", "jpg", ...]

Returns:
dict with the capabilities above.

dialogKnobs(self, dialog)

source code 

This is called when the user has selected this flipbook application, and will be interested in any knobs that you might have to show for custom settings.

Parameters:
  • dialog - The FlipbookDialog that has requested the knobs to be added to it, e.g. dialog.addKnob(...)
Returns:
None

dialogKnobChanged(self, dialog, knob)

source code 

Called whenever this flipbook is selected and one of the knobs added in dialogKnobs was changed.

Parameters:
  • dialog - The FlipbookDialog that contains the knob
  • knob - The knob added in dialogKnobs that was modified.
Returns:
None

getExtraOptions(self, flipbookDialog, nodeToFlipbook)

source code 

Called whenever this flipbook is selected to retrieve extra options from the node selected to flipbook and the flipbook dialog.

Parameters:
  • flipbookDialog - the flipbook dialog
  • nodeToFlipbook - node selected to flipbook
Returns:
a dictionary with the extra options
