add_empty: Add code to create empties to a Blender script

In mikemahoney218/mvdf: A Minimum Viable Data Format for 3D Rendering via Blender

Description

This function generates code that will, when run inside Blender, create empties within a scene. See the official Blender documentation at https://docs.blender.org/api/blender_python_api_current/bpy.ops.object.html for a full list of available options.

Usage

add_empty(script, object, type = "PLAIN_AXES", location = NULL, ...)

add_empty_method(object, script, type = "PLAIN_AXES", location = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'mvdf_obj'
add_empty_method(object, script, type = "PLAIN_AXES", location = NULL, ...)

Arguments

script	The Python script to append the generated code onto.
object	An object inheriting from [mvdf_obj] which will be used to calculate the x, y, and z positions for each primitive. One primitive will be created for each row of 'mvdf(object)'.
type	The empty type to create. Options include 'PLAIN_AXES', 'ARROWS', 'SINGLE_ARROW', 'CIRCLE', 'CUBE', 'SPHERE', 'CONE', and 'IMAGE'.
location	Either 'NULL' (the default) or a vector of strings (in the format 'location=(x, y, z)') specifying the location for the origin of each empty. If 'NULL', this vector will be automatically calculated using the 'x', 'y', and 'z' values in 'object'.
...	Additional arguments to pass to the empty creation call.

Value

A length 1 character vector containing the Blender Python script with code for creating mesh primitives added.
