add_surface_rake#
- ptrace.add_surface_rake(p0: float, p1: float, p2: float, p3: float, p4: float) int #
Add emitters (and thus more traces) to the current surface restricted particle trace part(s) from a screen pick rake location.
The “ptrace: surface_restricted” command must be ON prior to this command. Any existing particle trace parts can have emitters added to them. These trace parts must be selected before the addition.- Args:
- p0:
‘num_points’ number of equally spaced points on the line to use as emitters
- p1:
‘x1’ screen x coordinate of the first end of the rake (0.0 to 1.0)
- p2:
‘y1’ screen y coordinate of the first end of the rake (0.0 to 1.0)
- p3:
‘x2’ screen x coordinate of the second end of the rake (0.0 to 1.0)
- p4:
‘y2’ screen y coordinate of the second end of the rake (0.0 to1.0)
