<p dir="auto">Is there a way for creating thumbnails in plugin's UI, similar to C4D's noise thumbnails?</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi,</p>
<p dir="auto">there are basically two ways to achieve something like this, depending on the type of plugin you are implementing.</p>
<p dir="auto">In a <a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.plugins/BaseData/CommandData/index.html?highlight=commanddata" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">CommandData</a> you would attach a <a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.gui/GeDialog/index.html?highlight=gedialog" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">GeDialog</a> and use a <a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.gui/BaseCustomGui/BitmapButtonCustomGui/index.html?highlight=bitmapbuttoncustomgui" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">BitmapButtonCustomGui</a> to display the thumbnails. Instead of BitmapButtons you could of course also implement your own <a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.gui/GeUserArea/index.html?highlight=geuserarea" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">GeUserArea</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">In <a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.plugins/BaseData/NodeData/index.html?highlight=nodedata" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">NodeData</a> derived plugins (<a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.plugins/BaseData/NodeData/ObjectData/index.html?highlight=objectdata" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">ObjectData</a>, <a href="https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.plugins/BaseData/NodeData/TagData/index.html?highlight=tagdata" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">TagData</a>,...) it's a bit different, as a GeDialog needs to be attached to a CommandData. You could still use above approach by calling such a command in reaction to a button press, though. Then your dialog would probably need to be asynchronous and should update to display the thumbnails for the currently selected object or tag (or whatever).</p>
<p dir="auto">The other approach here would be the implementation of a CustomGui, which could then be used directly in the description of the implemented object or tag. But this is only possible in C++.</p>
