ScriptNode

Defines a “script” - a Gaffer node network which can be saved to disk as a “.gfr” file and reloaded.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

fileName

Where the script is stored.

unsavedChanges

Indicates whether or not the script has been modified since it was last saved.

frameRange

Defines the start and end frames for the script. These don’t enforce anything, but are typically used by dispatchers to control default frame ranges, and by the UI to define the range of the time slider.

frameRange.start

The start frame. This doesn’t enforce anything, but is typically used by dispatchers to control default frame ranges, and by the UI to define the range of the time slider.

frameRange.end

The end frame. This doesn’t enforce anything, but is typically used by dispatchers to control default frame ranges, and by the UI to define the range of the time slider.

frame

The current frame.

Note

To perform a computation at a particular time, you should create your own Context rather than change the value of this plug.

with Gaffer.Context( script.context() ) as c :
      c.setFrame( f )
  ...

Likewise, you should never refer to this plug from an expression. Always retrieve the frame with context.getFrame() instead.

framesPerSecond

The framerate used to convert between the current frame number and the time in seconds.

variables

Container for user-defined variables which can be used in expressions anywhere in the script.
