creating actions in the custompanel

[Peter Wassink]

i'm trying to create a button but cannot find all the actions i need.

i need the button to switch off paper (not toggle it because paper could be of or on when i click it)
i need to set the custombrush mode to alpha stamp. but i can only find how to set drawing modes.
finally i need an action that sets the custombrush smooth to best. (could do this via keep but i only need smooth not angle and size etc...)

do these action options exsist and where to find them?

Hi Peter,

a few tv_comands:

tv_BrushRestore SubPixel # //where # is 0=(None) 1=(Medium) 2=(Best)

tv_BrushRestore Stamp # //where # is 0=(Color) 1=(Alpha) 2=(Luma) 3=(Hue) 4=(LumaInvert) 5=(AlphaMax)

tv_Paper Active # //where 0=(Off) 1=(On)


-------------------------------------------------------------
I've found I can sometimes find undocumented parameters using a version of the following George script...

// For example, what are the parameters for Paper using the tv_PaperInfo command
tv_PaperInfo // tv_command to check out
parse result info
tv_warn info


------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a quick .grg file for selecting StampMode

// SetStampMode.grg
// July 22, 2009
// By Svengali
// Choose Stamp Mode for CutBrush
//
// version 1

Param None
ScriptName = 'SetStampMode'

tv_ListRequest "Color|Alpha|Luma|Hue|LumaInvert|AlphaMax" // display list options
Parse Result Choice StampName // get selected option number and option value

IF (Choice == -1) // user cancelled, clicked outside list
EXIT // StampMode maintains same setting
END

tv_BrushRestore Stamp Choice // set StampMode

(unzip the attached scripts into the \George folder - the assign each to a button to see what they do)

thank you sven.

the paper command worked!

do you know where i can find a list of these commands?

because setting the custombrush mode to alpha and the smooth to best didn't work.
i'm not sure what the command for the custombrush is.
i also tried these but they didn't work:
tv_CutBrush Stamp 1
tv_CutBrush Aaliasing 2

tv_CustomBrush Stamp 1
tv_CustomBrush Aaliasing 2

and sorry if i'm sounding a bit ignorant but i have no idea where i should enter your little script

[Svengali]

Sorry Peter,

Well, I managed to get two out of three wrong... try this.

tv_BrushRestore Stamp # (instead of tv_PenBrush Stamp #)

and

tv_BrushRestore SubPixel # (instead of tv_PenBrush Aantialiasing #) same values apply 0=none 1=medium 2=best

george scripts (.grg) are created with a text editor and go into the George folder. I'll save the listings into a zip file and attach it to my previous reply... along with fixing the tv_ commands too. Again, apologies for the confusion - I need an editor.

edit: I forgot to add that the tv_commands list can be had by any registered TVPaint user by requesting a copy of the SDK from TVPaint. To receive the TVPaint SDK, you need to send a request indicating for which software you need it at support[at]tvpaint[dot]fr.
