Hello,

I'm using (learning) python to create a scene to render in Maxwell, but for some reason I cannot use the Cvector function.
The line :

Code: Select all

base.origin = Cvector.assign (0.5,0.5,1.0);

gives me the following error :

Code: Select all

TypeError: unbound method Cvector_assign() must be called with Cvector instance as first argument (got float instance instead)

I interpret this error as if Cvector.assign(double,double,double) does not exist, but according to the documentation it should.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Willy

Hello!

"assign" is a Class method (non-static), so you have to call it from the object itself like this:

base.origin.assign(0.5,0.5,1.0);

Another way to do the same, is creating a CVector object with the values you want, setting the base.origin property like this:

base.origin = Cvector(0.5,0.5,1.0);

Both are correct

Hope it helps!

Hello Brany,

Thanks a lot for your help, it works perfect now !

I should have known this as I work often in Java and C# ...
