|---|---|
| str | A string representation of the symbol 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
symbol = MMpy.Symbol('Mm Symbols', 42, 11.0, '', True, False, 0, MMpy.BorderType.black_border, MMpy.Colour(0, 155, 204))
formset = MMpy.FormSet(...)
# Older recorded scripts
formset.set_field('SYMBOL', symbol.serialise())
# Newer recorded scripts (v2020+)
formset.set_field(123, symbol)
