Description
This class provides global settings and information for the application, like querying project related settings like GetFps, GetTime, GetScreenSize, etc., and operations such as SetTime, RenderVideo, etc.
Member Functions
GetProjectLength ( )
Get the current project duration.
Returns
- Project duration - RTime
1 print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetProjectLength()) # Print project duration for the current scene
GetFps ( )
Get the frames-per-second for the current project. Currently fixed at 60 fps.
Returns
- Frame rate - int
1 print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetFps()) # 60

1 temp = ""
2 ret_list = RLPy.RGlobal.GetPath(RLPy.EPathType_Temp, temp)
3 print(ret_list[0]) # success or faild
4 print(ret_list[1]) # path
BeginAction ( )
Perform undo and redo actions. This function is currently incomplete.
Parameters
- strAction [IN] action name - string
1 RLPy.RGlobal.BeginAction('ActionName')
2 RLPy.RGlobal.EndAction()
EndAction ( )
Perform undo and redo actions. This function is currently incomplete
1 # undo / redo
2 RLPy.RGlobal.BeginAction("Motion")
3 # do something
4 RLPy.RGlobal.EndAction()
Play ( )
Controls the timeline playback.
Parameters
1 start_time = RLPy.RTime(0)
2 end_time = RLPy.RTime(1000.0)
3 RLPy.RGlobal.Play(start_time,end_time)
Pause ( )
Pause the timeline playback and keep the playhead in place.
1 RLPy.RGlobal.Play(RLPy.RTime(0), RLPy.RTime(1000))
2 RLPy.RGlobal.Pause()
Stop ( )
Stop the timeline playback and return the playhead to the start marker.
1 RLPy.RGlobal.Play(RLPy.RTime(0), RLPy.RTime(1000))
2 RLPy.RGlobal.Stop()
IsPlaying ( )
Check if timeline playback is in progress.
Returns
- Returns true when application playing - bool
1 if(not RLPy.RGlobal.IsPlaying()):
2 RLPy.RGlobal.Play(RLPy.RTime(0), RLPy.RTime(1000))
3 if(RLPy.RGlobal.IsPlaying()):
4 RLPy.RGlobal.Stop()
GetTime ( )
Get the current time for the scene according to the location of the playhead.
Returns
- current time - RTime
1 time = RLPy.RGlobal.GetTime()
2 print(time)
SetTime ( )
Change the current time for the scene and update the playhead.
See Also: GetTime
Parameters
- kTime [IN] Specifies the time to set - RTime
Returns
