Main article: RL Python Samples.

Required Modules

Besides the rudimentary Reallusion Python API, we'll need to use Qtwidgets to build our user interface and shiboken2 to convert the dialog window to something Python can understand.

import RLPy
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
from PySide2.shiboken2 import wrapInstance

User Interface

We'll need to create a user interface with a line at the top that shows the directory location, a button for opening the file browse dialog, and a text input to display the contents of the file.

window = RLPy.RUi.CreateRDialog()
window.SetWindowTitle("Python Path & File")
dialog = wrapInstance(int(window.GetWindow()), QtWidgets.QDialog)
dialog.setFixedWidth(500)

layout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout()
dialog.layout().addLayout(layout)

pathText = QtWidgets.QPlainTextEdit(readOnly=True, maximumHeight=25)
contentText = QtWidgets.QPlainTextEdit(minimumHeight=250)
button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("....", minimumHeight=25, minimumWidth=25)

layout.addWidget(pathText)
layout.addWidget(button)
dialog.layout().addWidget(contentText)

File Dialog Request

Next we'll need a definition for the file dialog procedure to populate the directory field and the contents text field.

def open_file():
    file_dialog = QtWidgets.QFileDialog()
    file_dialog.setNameFilter("*.py")
    file_dialog.exec()

    if(len(file_dialog.selectedFiles()) > 0):
        pathText.setPlainText(file_dialog.selectedFiles()[0])
        f = open(file_dialog.selectedFiles()[0], "r")
        contentText.setPlainText(f.read())
        f.close()


button.clicked.connect(open_file)

window.Show()

Everything Put Together

You can copy and paste the following code into a PY file and load it into iClone via Script > Load Python.

import RLPy
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
from PySide2.shiboken2 import wrapInstance

window = RLPy.RUi.CreateRDialog()
window.SetWindowTitle("Python Path & File")
dialog = wrapInstance(int(window.GetWindow()), QtWidgets.QDialog)
dialog.setFixedWidth(500)

layout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout()
dialog.layout().addLayout(layout)

pathText = QtWidgets.QPlainTextEdit(readOnly=True, maximumHeight=25)
contentText = QtWidgets.QPlainTextEdit(minimumHeight=250)
button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("....", minimumHeight=25, minimumWidth=25)

layout.addWidget(pathText)
layout.addWidget(button)
dialog.layout().addWidget(contentText)


def open_file():
    file_dialog = QtWidgets.QFileDialog()
    file_dialog.setNameFilter("*.py")
    file_dialog.exec()

    if(len(file_dialog.selectedFiles()) > 0):
        pathText.setPlainText(file_dialog.selectedFiles()[0])
        f = open(file_dialog.selectedFiles()[0], "r")
        contentText.setPlainText(f.read())
        f.close()


button.clicked.connect(open_file)

window.Show()
