anatools.lib.ana_object module¶

class AnaBaseObject(object_type)¶

Bases: ABC

Base class for Ana objects

dump_annotations(calculate_obstruction=False)¶: Generate annotations for the object.

dump_metadata()¶

Convert object to a JSON serializable representation. Sub classes add metadata by implementing the dump_metadata method as follows:

def dump_metadata(self):
meta = super().dump_metadata() return {**meta, “subclass-attribute”: subclass-value, …}

load(**kwargs)¶

Default loader - Load the object from a file

When overriding this method in your subclass you must do all of the following

find_object(qname)¶

Recursively search the object hierarchy for a child object where qname is a list of object base names from the original hierarchy.

For example, given this object hierarchy in the original blender file:

Aircraft

To find the right wing flap in a loaded instance of this object you would do the following, assuming “aircraft” is the AnaObject instance.

obj = aircraft.find_object([“Right_Wing”, “Flap”])

IMPORTANT CAVEAT:

This will not work if an object in the hierarchy has two children with the same base name, e.g.

Aircraft

To solve this problem you need to modify the original file to follow the “no two children with the same base name” rule

load(**kwargs)¶
