◆ frame_insert()

bool OMC::Scene::frame_insert	(	int	atFrame,
		int	nbFrames,
		OMC::FrameOptions	options = `FrameOptions()`
	)

Inserts frames at the selected frame number.

atFrame = 0 -> insert before first frame.
atFrame = n -> insert after frame n.
atFrame = scene_object.frame_count.

Parameters

atFrame	- The frame number at which the frames will be inserted. Frames are inserted after the frame indicated. Use 0 to insert frames before the first frame.
nbFrames	- The number of frames to insert
options	- This optional parameter should be an object with the desired behaviours for when the frames are inserted. See OMC::FrameOptions for further information on options.

Add 10 Frames at the start of the scene:

from ToonBoom import harmony                                 #Import the Harmony Module
sess = harmony.session()                                     #Get access to the Harmony session, this class.
proj = sess.project                                          #Get the active session's currently loaded project.
scene = proj.scene                                           #Get the top scene in the project.
scene.frame_insert( 0, 10, harmony.FrameOptions(True, True) )  #Insert the frames, with FrameOptions( ripple_markers = True, extend_exposure = True)
#Content will now be pushed out 10 frames from before the starting frame of the scene.

Returns: True if the number of frames given is valid.

◆ frame_remove()

bool OMC::Scene::frame_remove	(	int	atFrame,
		int	nbFrames,
		OMC::FrameOptions	options = `FrameOptions()`
	)

Deletes frames starting from the selected frame number.

atFrame = 0 -> delete at the beginning atFrame = n -> delete frames following the nth frame atFrame = Application.frame.nbFrames() -> won't delete anything

Parameters

atFrame	The frame number at which the frames will be removed. Frames are removed after the frame indicated. Use 0 to remove frames before the first frame.
nbFrames	The number of frames to remove
options	This optional parameter should be an object with the desired behaviours for when the frames are removed. See OMC::FrameOptions for further information on options.

Remove 10 Frames at the start of the scene:

from ToonBoom import harmony                                 #Import the Harmony Module
sess = harmony.session()                                     #Get access to the Harmony session, this class.
proj = sess.project                                          #Get the active session's currently loaded project.
scene = proj.scene                                           #Get the top scene in the project.
scene.frame_remove( 1, 10, harmony.FrameOptions(True, True) )  #Remove the frames, with FrameOptions( ripple_markers = True, extend_exposure = True)
#Content will now be pulled back10 frames from before the starting frame of the scene.

◆ metadata

OMC::Scene::metadata

The metadata handler object to provide metadata information.

Metadata can be used to store generic information in the scene, and in nodes. This data is created and accessed through the object (OMC::MetaDataHandler) provided by this property.

Note: Some metadata is used internally in the scene, and is not accessible in the DOM scripting.

Print all Metadata in the scene.

from ToonBoom import harmony                                 #Import the Harmony Module

for metadata in scene.metadata:
  print( "Key : %s"%(metadata.key) )
  print( "  Value : %s"%(metadata.value) )
  print( "  Type : %s"%(metadata.type) )

Create Some Metadata

scene = proj.scene                                           #Get the top scene in the project.
metadata = scene.metadata                                    #The metadata handler.
production_data = { 
                    "artist"   : "John Doe",

                    "date"     : int(time.time())
                  }
metadata["production_data"] = json.dumps( production_data )
print( "Set Production Data" )
json_data = metadata["production_data"].value
retrieved_data = json.loads( json_data )
for x in retrieved_data:
  print( "%s : %s"%(x, retrieved_data[x]) )
#The metadata will be saved and available within the scene in subsequent instances of Harmony. This is useful for saving
#generic data related to scenes or nodes.

◆ nodes

OMC::Scene::nodes

The list of all nodes in the scene.

The scene's nodelist provides the list of all the nodes in the scene, regardless of the group hierarchy. This means that all nodes in the scene, inlcuding those in subgroups, should be in this list. It can also be used to create and remove nodes from the scene as needed.

Print path of all Nodes in the Scene:

from ToonBoom import harmony                                 #Import the Harmony Module
sess = harmony.session()                                     #Get access to the Harmony session, this class.
proj = sess.project                                          #Get the active session's currently loaded project.
scene = proj.scene                                           #Get the top scene in the project.
nodes = scene.nodes                                          #The overall node list of the scene.
for node in nodes:
  print( "Node: %s (%s)"%(node.path, node.type) )

◆ palettes

OMC::Scene::palettes

Provides a list of all available palettes in the project.

◆ sounds

OMC::Scene::sounds

The list of sound objects in the scene.

Sounds and sound lists will be implemented in future DOM versions.

◆ top

OMC::Scene::top

The top group in the scene.

Every scene has an initial 'group' that contains the nodes of the scene. This group is transparent, in that it is not represented by any node in the node view – but it represents the outer-most layer in which nodes can be placed. Every scene starts with this group, named 'Top', and all subsequent nodes are placed within this container.

◆ unit_converter

OMC::Scene::unit_converter

The tool used for converting between OGL and scene spaces.

Scenes within Harmony use field units, but most graphical operations use OpenGL units. Depending on the function and the context, conversion between these units are necessary and are done with the unit_converter. This converter (OMC::SceneUnitConverter) will use the scene's metric information to convert between the units.

Conversion from OGL to Field Units

from ToonBoom import harmony                                 #Import the Harmony Module
sess = harmony.session()                                     #Get access to the Harmony session, this class.
proj = sess.project                                          #Get the active session's currently loaded project.
scene = proj.scene                                           #Get the top scene in the project.
unit_converter = scene.unit_converter                        #The unit converter for this scene.
open_gl_point = harmony.Point3d( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 )             #A Point3D object in 'OpenGL' units.
field_point   = unit_converter.to_field( open_gl_point )     #Convert it.
#Print the converted field units.
print( "Field Units: %s %s %s"%(field_point.x, field_point.y, field_point.z) )

◆ units

OMC::Scene::units

Get the number of units of the scene.

The units are provided as an object (OMC::SceneUnits) that provides properties related to the units of the scene.

◆ vector_texture_pixel_density

double OMC::Scene::vector_texture_pixel_density

readwrite

Get/set the default texture pixel density for new Vector Drawings.

The vector texture pixel density is the ratio used for pixel density in textures being applied to vector shapes.
