Methods Documentation

PaintBitmap.GetBw(self)

Get the width of the paint bitmap.

Return type:int Returns:The width of the paint bitmap.

PaintBitmap.GetBh(self)

Get the height of the paint bitmap.

Return type:int Returns:The height of the paint bitmap.

PaintBitmap.GetPaintTexture(self)

Get the paint texture if possible.

Return type:c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintTexture Returns:The paint texture if possible, otherwise None.

PaintBitmap.GetParent(self)

Get the parent.

Note

This can be a layer or a texture for instance.

Return type:c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintBitmap Returns:The paint texture if possible, otherwise None.

PaintBitmap.GetLayerDownFirst(self)

Get the first alpha channel layer.

Return type:c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintLayer Returns:The first alpha channel layer, or None if there is none.

PaintBitmap.GetLayerDownLast(self)

Get the last child layer.

Return type:c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintLayer Returns:The last child layer, or None if there is none.

PaintBitmap.GetAlphaFirst(self)

Get the first alpha channel layer.

Return type:c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintLayer Returns:The first alpha channel layer, or None if there is none.

PaintBitmap.GetAlphaLast(self)

Get the last alpha channel layer.

Return type:c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintLayer Returns:The last alpha channel layer, or None if there is none.

PaintBitmap.AddAlphaChannel(self, bitdepth, prev=None, undo=True, activate=True)

Add an alpha channel to the layer.

Parameters:

• bitdepth (int) –

  The bit depth of the alpha channel:

  BITDEPTH_SHIFT
  BITDEPTH_MAXMODES
  BITDEPTH_UCHAR
  BITDEPTH_UWORD
  BITDEPTH_FLOAT

• prev (c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintLayer) – Optional point to insert the alpha channel.
• undo (bool) – True to create an undo on the undo stack, otherwise False.
• activate (bool) – If True alpha channel will be activated.

Return type:

c4d.modules.bodypaint.PaintLayerBmp

Returns:

The added alpha channel, or None if it failed.

PaintBitmap.AskApplyAlphaMask(self)

Check if an alpha mask can be applied.

Return type:bool Returns:True if an alpha mask can be applied, otherwise False.

PaintBitmap.UpdateRefresh(self, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax, flags)

Refresh an area of the paint bitmap.

Note

Must be done after modifying the paint bitmap.

Parameters:

• xmin (int) – Left coordinate of the refreshed area.
• ymin (int) – Top coordinate of the refreshed area.
• xmax (int) – Right coordinate of the refreshed area.
• ymax (int) – Bottom coordinate of the refreshed area.
• flags (int) –

  Flags:

  UPDATE_CHILDREN	Private.
  UPDATE_PARENTS	Private.
  UPDATE_PREVIEW	Private.
  UPDATE_REFRESH2D	Private.
  UPDATE_RECALC	Private.
  UPDATE_NOSAVECHG	Private.
  UPDATE_NOOFFSET	Private.
  UPDATE_REFRESH3D	Private.
  UPDATE_REFRESHCURSOR	Private.
  UPDATE_NOSTOPTHREADS	Private.
  UPDATE_STD	Standard refresh.

PaintBitmap.UpdateRefreshAll(self, flags, reallyall)

Refresh the complete paint bitmap. Has to be done after modifying the paint bitmap.

Parameters:

• flags (int) –

  Flags:

  UPDATE_CHILDREN	Private.
  UPDATE_PARENTS	Private.
  UPDATE_PREVIEW	Private.
  UPDATE_REFRESH2D	Private.
  UPDATE_RECALC	Private.
  UPDATE_NOSAVECHG	Private.
  UPDATE_NOOFFSET	Private.

  UPDATE_NOSTOPTHREADS	Private.
  UPDATE_STD	Standard refresh.

• reallyall (bool) –
  If True an infinite bounding box is used for the refresh.

  If False the bounding box of the layer is used, this is much faster.

PaintBitmap.GetColorMode(self)
