Object Vis. Parameters

[BrentW]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone could assist me in finding how to change the vis. parameters of an Object.

Currently I am using grp.create to create the group but ultimately I would like to set the following via a resident script.

- Control Type
- Decimal Places
- Min Value
- Value Display

Furthermore,
I would like to be able to add groups to the Tag Map via script. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Brent

You need to add visparams key to grp.create configuration parameters. Visparams is a Lua table where keys depend on object data type. You can check values by logging objects or inspecting database backup. Tags can be passed as a Lua table as well: https://openrb.com/docs/lua.htm#grp.create

Hi admin,

Could you elaborate any on the visparams and and how it is implemented? 

Kind Regards,

Hi,

Just create 1 object with the desired params and perform a log of this object by log(grp.find('1/1/1'))

In the log you can see how you need to reproduce the fields automatically.

Example:

Code:

grp.create({
  address = '0/0/1',
  datatype = dt.bool,
  name = 'test',
  visparams = {
    control = 'checkbox'
  },
})
