Delete short segments

Hello Plugincafe!

With this python generator, I want to remove short segments of a spline.
In line 17 I'm exploding spline into segments and in line 30 I'm trying to delete short segments but seems like I'm doing something wrong.

    minLength = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1] #User defined Minimum lenght  
    for i in xrange(pcount) :  
        pointA = spline.GetPoint(spline.GetPointCount()-i-1)  
        pointB = spline.GetPoint(spline.GetPointCount()-i-2)  
        direction = (pointB - pointA)  
        distance = direction.GetLength()  
        if distance == 0:  
            continue  
        elif distance < minLength:  
            sel.Select(spline.GetPointCount()-i-1)  
            sel.Select(spline.GetPointCount()-i-2)  
            res = utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_DELETE,list=[spline],mode=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_POINTSELECTION,doc=doc)      
            sel.DeselectAll()

I found a solution... this is a bit brute force way, but at least it works...

import c4d

def main() :
    child = op.GetDown()
    if not child: return
    clone = child.GetClone()
    child.Touch()
  
    PolyFX = c4d.BaseObject(1019222)
    PolyFX[c4d.MGPOLYFX_MODE] = 1
    PolyFX[c4d.ID_MG_TRANSFORM_SCALE] = c4d.Vector(0.99)
    PolyFX.InsertUnder(clone)
  
    res = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
                                        list = [clone],
                                        mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
                                        doc = op.GetDocument(),
                                        )
    if res[0] is not None: poly = res[0]
    else:     return None
  
    sel = poly.GetPointS()
    pcount = poly.GetPointCount()
    sel.SelectAll(pcount-1)
    
    res = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_EXPLODESEGMENTS,
                                        list = [poly],
                                        mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_POINTSELECTION,
                                        doc = op.GetDocument()
                                        )
  
  
    length = c4d.utils.SplineLengthData()
    for i in poly.GetChildren() :
        length.Init(i)
        dist = length.GetLength()
        if dist < op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1]:
            i.Remove()
            length.Free()
  
    return poly

Worth mentioning that this technique is a bit slow...

I figured it out...

  
    doc = op.GetDocument()
    sel = spline.GetPointS()
    minLength = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1] #User defined Minimum lenght
    n = 0
    for i in xrange(spline.GetPointCount()-1) :

        n+=1
        pointB = spline.GetPoint(n)
        direction = (pointB - pointA)
        distance = direction.GetLength()
        if distance == 0:
            n+=1

Hi Merk, although it seems out you've already find your own way, I wonder looking at your second post, if an ObjectData Python plugin would fit better with the intent of the code since I see you handling object's child as much as normally happens with an ObjectData. Is my guess wrong?

Best, Riccardo

In object generator plugins, I'm using GetAndCheckHierarchyClone.
In the second example, python generator is used...
