Converting VS to Python

[AlanW]

HI, is there an easy way to convert VS to Python? Still learning Python at early stages and don't know VS.

I see all the coding for VW at

http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:Function_Reference

Some have Python equivalents.

Thanks

I don't think so.

But VS is based on pascal which is not difficult to learn. Just take 20 Minutes to learn the syntax and you will understand most of the code examples.

Hey Alan,

Most (there are some that are iffy) of those functions on the developer wiki can be used in Python by just adding vs.FUNCTIONNAME(Parameter1, Parameter2, etc.).

If you follow the syntax of the functions that already have python examples, you should be able to use the rest of the VectorScript functions in python. The wiki just hasn't had all of its python alternative functions updated to reflect that.

If you need more help, let me know. You shouldn't have to know Pascal in this case.
