Creating an Image Plane in Python Script

[phixxx5]

Hi,
I'm new to FreeCAD and I'm working on a custom workbench. At the moment I am trying to create an Image Plane in my Python script similarly to the Image Plane I can create in the GUI in the Image workbench. I have tried the following:

Code: Select all

import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui
import Image, ImageGui
import Part, PartGui


class PlaceImage:

    def Activated(self):
        """ This code gets executed when the corresponding button is pressed."""
        doc = FreeCAD.activeDocument()
        img_plane = doc.addObject("Image::ImagePlane', 'ImagePlane")

However I see the error:

Code: Select all

No document object found of type 'Image::ImagePlane', 'ImagePlane'

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to implement my own ImagePlane Class in Python?

Something wrong you wrote:

Code: Select all

img_plane = doc.addObject("Image::ImagePlane', 'ImagePlane")

instead of :

Code: Select all

img_plane = doc.addObject("Image::ImagePlane", "ImagePlane")

or:

Code: Select all

img_plane = doc.addObject('Image::ImagePlane', 'ImagePlane')

the error code:

Code: Select all

'Image::ImagePlane', 'ImagePlane'

is showing that FreeCAD is searching for the whole string shown that is obviously "strange", as there is the name of the object in it instead of:

Code: Select all

'Image::ImagePlane'

That would be more correct for a "object type".


Hope it helps

It happens, more frequently than you could immagine.
