one step forward two steps back kindof algo 🙂

nice enough result so i will hold on to it.

now back to doing the thing i was actually trying to get done…

i did not like the arbitrariness so I made a better one myself…

“` vector poslist[];
vector p0=point(0,”P”,pts[0]); vector p1=point(0,”P”,pts[1]); vector p2=point(0,”P”,pts[2]);
vector n = normalize(p1 – p0); vector v = p2 – (p0+p1)*.5; vector proj = dot(v, n) * n; vector g = p2 – 2* proj;
append(poslist,g);
for (int i=0; i

For anyone interested in making your own ui color in Houdini I made a python panel that will load a hcs file so you can pick colors and then all you need to do is reload the color theme in Houdini, and here’s my blue theme I shared a screen shot of in.#hou-usd It should show up if you put this in your houdini documents folder / config. There’s some parts of the ui I still want to fix. This is just some insanity stuff I’m doing while trying to find work.

for anyone who cares: I updated the type annotation stubs for Houdini for 20.5: pypi.org/project/types-houdini/ Should be a lot easier to maintain now.

I discovered that you can use pane.setSplitFraction() and you need to call it on the python panels “resize” event, then you can ovveride whatever automatic resizing that takes places, in case anyone else runs into the same thing!

My favorite way to install python libs for use in houdini “`cmd hython -m pip install –target=/path/to/package/python3.11libs matplotlib “`

K found out how to make a basic signal, hours of finding the right function leading to only few lines of code woo(?)
How to do a basic Signal in python compatible with Houdini: “`python from PySide2.QtCore import QObject, Signal class ECoolEventSignal(QObject): string_event = Signal(str)
cool_event_instance = ECoolEventSignal()
# sender cool_event_instance.string_event.emit(“Passing da string”) # reciever cool_event_instance.string_event.connect(self.listeningFunction) “` (You can also hook to the event functions via doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#sendEvent but it was overkill in my need)

now time for a drink and do something with this tommorow 😂

`# Force Houdini’s style sheet self.setProperty(“houdiniStyle”, True) sh = hou.ui.qtStyleSheet() self.setStyleSheet(sh)`

also when you call the dialog, make sure to set the houdini qt window as parent too:

`# Create and show the dialog dialog = OSLManagerDlg(parent=hou.ui.mainQtWindow()) dialog.exec_()`

in this case, this dlg looks like this

I guess it will be similar for a python panel, have no idea <:kill_me:419295639348838400>

@David Torno I got fed-up of writing that code to the shell . you can make your own MainMenuCommon.xml file which will give you a section on the top menu bar. Then you can add a custom button to that which runs a script which handles this reload. so much easier. atleast imo.

this is what my code , looks like. It just reloads all my modules in my scripts folder

“`xml
PJTools help_menu
Reload PJTools Modules “`
