MMpy.Hatch.serialise

Syntax

hatch.serialise()

Description

Serialises the hatch object to a string which can then be used in the MMpy.FormSet.set_field function.

Returns

Type
Description
string A string representation of the hatch object.

Notes

This function is normally not used with newly recorded scripts in v2020+ as form sets are now able to accept objects directly.

Examples

hatch = MMpy.Hatch(MMpy.Colour(0, 0, 0), MMpy.Colour(255, 255, 255), MMpy.Colour(0, 0, 100), False, MMpy.LineType.solid, 13, 52, 'MM Hatch Patterns 1')
formset = MMpy.FormSet(...)
 
# Older recorded scripts
formset.set_field('HATCH', hatch.serialise())
 
# Newer recorded scripts (v2020+)
formset.set_field(123, hatch)
