Python code to switch between drop down bar options

hello! :slight_smile:


I was wondering if there was some function/ python code which would enable me to switch between the different options on this drop-down menu, so it just did it alone automated. might be way easier than i think!

thanks so much!

Hello @luciaaa,

welcome to the community.

All parameters are accessibly via python and can be read and set from the textport or scripts.
The order of access would be to:

# get the operator
a = op('math1')

# now we can access the parameters of the operator
# for menus this can be set as integers or the menuName
a.par.preop = 1
# this is equal to
a.par.preop = 'negate'

Our learning page at learn.derivative.ca offers a section on python and scripting:

Also make sure to browse the tutorials collected at alltd.org for a great resource on this topic.
