Key Points :

  1. Selector
  2. Parameter

Selector

op(‘operator_name’)
me.parent()

“op” means operator or node.

It’s similar to open the folder.

If we use folder to take an example,

Parent > Current > Children

op('null')  # select the operator in current folderop('./null')  # select the operator in children folderop('../null')  # select the operator in parent folderme.parent()  # select parent

Parameter

Get Table Value

op(‘operator_name’)[row, col] → for table

Get Width & Heigh

op(‘operator_name’).widthop(‘operator_name’).height

Get All Parameters

You can get every parameter in the target panel.

Just find out the parameters you need.

op(‘operator_name’).par.bgcolorrop(‘operator_name’).par.bgcolorgop(‘operator_name’).par.bgcolorb

You can also get width & height with parameters.

op(‘operator_name’).par.wop(‘operator_name’).par.h
