sbsarchive

Content included in sbsarchive module:

Module sbsarchive aims to define SBSARObjects that are relative to a sbsar package, mostly SBSArchive and SBSARGlobalVar.

 class sbsarchive.sbsarchive.SBSARGlobalVar(aInputs=None)  

Bases: pysbs.common_interfaces.sbsarobject.SBSARObject

Class that contains information on a graph input as defined in a .sbsar file

Members:
  • mInputs (list of SBSARInput): List of global variables used by the substance.
 parse(aContext, aDirAbsPath, aSBSParser, aXmlNode)  

Parse recursively the given xml node to retrieve the content of the SBSObject.

Parameters:
  • aContext (Context) – execution context
  • aDirAbsPath (str) – the absolute directory containing the current parsed package (.sbs file)
  • aSBSParser (SBSParser) – the substance parser
  • aXmlNode (xml.etree.ElementTree) – the xml node to parse
 class sbsarchive.sbsarchive.SBSArchive(aContext, aFileAbsPath, aFormatVersion='', aCookerBuild='', aAsmUID='', aContent='', aGlobalVar=None, aGraphs=None, aMetaDataTree=None)  

Bases: pysbs.common_interfaces.sbsarobject.SBSARObject, pysbs.common_interfaces.package.Package, sbsarchive.sbsarmetadata.SBSARMetaDataObject

Class used to get information on a .sbsar file. It contains the full description of a substance archive, which correspond to the root node of the .sbsar file.

Members:
  • mFormatVersion (str): version of the format
  • mCookerBuild (str): build number of the Cooker
  • mAsmUID (str): unique identifier of the .sbsasm file
  • mContent (str): content type. Default to ‘full’
  • mGlobalVar (SBSARGlobalVar): global variables used in the substance
  • mGraphs (list of SBSARGraph): list of graphs
  • mContext (Context): Execution context, with alias definition
  • mFileAbsPath (str): Absolute path of the package
  • mDirAbsPath (str): Absolute directory of the package
 buildAbsPathFromRelToMePath(aRelPathFromPackage)  

Build a path starting from the current package absolute directory and complete it with the given relative path

Parameters:aRelPathFromPackage (str) – The relative path from the current package
Returns:The complete path, as a string
 computeUniqueIdentifier(aIdentifier, aSuffixId = 0)  

Check if the given identifier is already used and generate a unique identifier if necessary

Returns:A unique identifier, which is either the given one or a new one with a suffix: identifier_id
 createMetaDataStr(aName, aValue)  
 createMetaDataUrl(aName, aResource)  
 deleteMetaData(aName)  
 enterSBSARManager()  
 extractSbsarMetaDataJson(aDestFolderPath, aNameToFind='metadata.json')  

Extract the metadata json file in the destFolderPath

Parameters:
  • sDestFolderPath – a directory path
  • aNameToFind (str) – json file name present in sbsar, by default it’s metadata.json
Returns:

a complete file path

 extractSbsarMetaDataPack(aDestFolderPath)  

Extract all metadata resource files present in the sbsar.

Parameters:aDestFolderPath (str) – a directory path
Returns:a complete file path
 extractSbsarMetaDataResource(aDestFolderPath, aSbsarResourcePath)  

Extract a resource file present in the sbsar. The sbsar resource path is the sbsar relative path to the resource file.

Parameters:
  • aDestFolderPath (str) – a directory path
  • aSbsarResourcePath (str) – sbsar relative path to the resource file, ex: “resources/1/untitled.blend”
Returns:

a complete file path

 generateThumbnail(aGraphIdentifier=None, replaceIfExists=False, saveArchiveAs=None)  

Generate a 512x512 icon and embeds it to the substance archive. Be sure to write the substance doc with doc.writeDoc() if you do some modifications on it. Use pysbs.batchtools so be sure to have setup correctly your system paths. The thumbnail generation is based on Usage output, if the graph has not the right Usages the thumbnail result can be unexpected.

Parameters:
  • aGraphIdentifier – the identifier of the graph to be thumbnail rendered, if None thumbnail will be generated for all the graph
  • replaceIfExists – if a thumbnail already exits for this graph it will be replaced
  • saveArchiveAs – save a sbsar copy, if None the current sbsar will be saved
  • saveThumbnailAs – give a correct directory path to save the thumbnail somewhere otherwise thumbnail file will be deleted
  • kwargs – arguments to pass to the batchtools.thumbnail.generate, quiet, aSize, aThumbnailSize…
 getAllMetaData()

Parameters:aName (str) –
Returns:SBSMetaDataTreeUrl or SBSMetaDataTreeStr
 getObjectFromInternalPath(aPath)  

Get the object pointed by the given path, which must reference the current package.

Parameters:aPath (str) – the relative path, starting with ‘pkg:///’
Returns:the pointed SBSARObject if found, None otherwise
 getSBSGraph(aGraphIdentifier)  

Get the SBSARGraph object with the given identifier.

Parameters:aGraphIdentifier (str) – Identifier of the graph to get
Returns:A SBSARGraph object
 getSBSGraphFromPkgUrl(aPkgUrl)  

Get the SBSARGraph object with the given package URL.

Parameters:aPkgUrl (str) – The graph Url relatively to the package, in the format ‘pkg:///MyGraph’
