Some questions for plugins in python about hobbits HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm so sorry, I missed this!

• In the JSON file, when I put "decimal" or "integer" type for my parameter, it doesn't change anything, in the both cases it's an integer, is it normal ? Do i miss something ?

It looks like it will make an integer spinbox in both cases, which is not the intended behavior. I think I'll be able to address this soon.

• Can we put negative values in our integer field ? And so, can we precise a maximum and a minimum value in the JSON file for a specific parameter ?

Yes, right now it looks like it defaults to 0-0x7fffffff (e.g. spinBox->setRange(0, 0x7fffffff);), but if you add "min" and/or "max" parameters you can get around that. For example, here's a power spectral density display plugin config I've been messing around with

{
    "name": "PyPSD",
    "description": "Python Power Spectral Density display using matplotlib",
    "tags": ["Python"],
    "script": "plugin.py",
    "type": "display",
    "extra_paths": [],
    "render_config": {
        "asynchronous": true,
        "hide_bit_offset_controls": true
    },
    "parameters": [
        {
            "name": "FFT Size",
            "type": "integer",
            "min": 16,
            "max": 32768
        },
        {
            "name": "FFT Number",
            "type": "integer",
            "min": 1
        },
        {
            "name": "Sample Frequency (Hz)",
            "type": "integer",
            "min": 1
        }
    ]
}

• When I try to add a boolean parameter in my JSON file and execute my plugin in Hobbits, I've always this error :

"Operator Plugin Error: Plugin 'test' reported an error with its processing: Other errors:
Failed to parse arg 4"
(here the arg 4 is of course my boolean, if i put more parameters, it will say 'arg 5' or 'arg 6')

Yes this is another bug in the configuration interface.

Thank you for reporting these! I think I wrote the documentation aspirationally and then never finished implementing stuff. I can try to get quick fixes for these soon.

I think cef1055 fixes the bugs mentioned here, but I'm going to wait until I update the documentation and maybe do a little more improvement/validation before pushing a release. The release should come this weekend or next week.

I just saw your answers, tanks a lot ! It will help.

Alright, the fixes and additions should all be in 0.47.0

Let me know if anything else goes wrong or if you have any ideas about the python plugin interface.

Thanks à lot ! I'll try it soon and keep you up to date
