PYTHON API GETPOINTS NOT WORKING-sig.johnnson-04-07-2023
From the documentation:
Code:
GetPoints(feature_type=1, feature_id=0)
Retrieves the point under the mouse cursor, a curve or the 3D points of an object. The points are provided in [XYZijk] format in relative coordinates. The XYZ are the local point coordinate and ijk is the normal of the surface.
Parameters
feature_type (int) – set to FEATURE_SURFACE to retrieve the point under the mouse cursor, FEATURE_CURVE to retrieve the list of points for that wire, or FEATURE_POINT to retrieve the list of points.
feature_id (int) – used only if FEATURE_CURVE is specified, it allows retrieving the appropriate curve id of an object
Returns
List of points
From the actual `.py` file:
Code:
def GetPoints(self, feature_type=FEATURE_HOVER_OBJECT_MESH)
...
if feature_type < FEATURE_HOVER_OBJECT_MESH:
raise Exception("Invalid feature type, use FEATURE_HOVER_OBJECT_MESH, FEATURE_HOVER_OBJECT or equivalent")
The API documentation allows the use of `FEATURE_CURVE` and `FEATURE_POINTS`, but the actual code prevents this. Additionally, the actual code takes only one argument, disallowing the `feature_id` parameter that the API documentation specifies.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

一个维efinition of GetPoints is global and returns the the selected object (Robolink) and the other definition of GetPoints applies to one specific object (Item).
I recommend you to take a look at the example you can find in the Item GetPoints:

Thanks, Albert! That solved my problem.
