Note: -np- mean ‘No-Process’ (that the words are not GiD process keywords) and instead the next command is expected to be Tcl code. It is used as a fast way to run a simple procedure or re-define code.
Use copy/paste code after -np-
In particular there are some predefined Tcl procs that run python code, like GiD_Python_Exec that expects the python code to be evaluated
...
There are other procs similar to GiD_Python_Exec ,like GiD_Python_Eval (for a single instruction and value is returned) or GiD_Python_Call (to invoke a function that must be previously defined)
Source a file with the code
The normal way to write long Python code is write it in a .py file.
...
GiD_Python_Source is a Tcl proc that expects the name of a python file with the code to be sourced
Example: matplotlib graph of two curves
The file <GiD>/scripts/tohil/doc/demo_matplotlib.py contain a code like the one of the image
...
then this window will appear:
...
Python force reload a file
Other Tcl procs related to source Python code are GiD_Python_Import_File and GiD_Python_Import
