3 The IDGroup Type
4 ================
5 This type supports both iteration and the []
6 operator to get child ID properties.
7
8 You can also add new properties using the [] operator.
9 For example::
10
11 group['a float!'] = 0.0
12 group['an int!'] = 0
13 group['a string!'] = "hi!"
14 group['an array!'] = [0, 0, 1.0, 0]
15
16 group['a subgroup!] = {"float": 0.0, "an int": 1.0, "an array": [1, 2],
17 "another subgroup": {"a": 0.0, "str": "bleh"}}
18
19 Note that for arrays, the array type defaults to int unless a float is found
20 while scanning the template list; if any floats are found, then the whole
21 array is float. Note that double-precision floating point numbers are used for
22 python-created float ID properties and arrays (though the internal C api does
23 support single-precision floats, and the python code will read them).
24
25 You can also delete properties with the del operator. For example:
26
27 del group['property']
28
29 To get the type of a property, use the type() operator, for example::
30
31 if type(group['bleh']) == str: pass
32
33 To tell if the property is a group or array type, import the Blender.Types module and test
34 against IDGroupType and IDArrayType, like so::
35
36 from Blender.Types import IDGroupType, IDArrayType.
37
38 if type(group['bleghr']) == IDGroupType:
39 (do something)
