New API doc - typos and questions
-
A small thing, just noticed a typo that I don't think is already covered. The entry for EntityObserver.onChangeEntity method states:
@unknownuser said:
The onEraseEntity method is invoked when your entity is modified.

Scott: I think it's worth to also add some notes on the observers that aren't working. Especially those that seem to cause bugsplats. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20676

I'm not sure if you've caught this yet, but transformation.xaxis, yaxis, and zaxis return vectors, not points.

The
Modelcollection some times doesn't list all the materials when you call.eachon it.

WebDialog.new
See Martin's post: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=21502 -
The following was agreed, in http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=21502 to correctly document WebDialog.new.
Alternate to the API docs, with help. This is for PC:
title - string - This text will appear in the title bar of your WebDialog
scrollable - boolean - This is a NOP. You get scrollbars, regardless. Workaround: <body scroll=no>.
key - string - If this is nil or an empty string, your dialog's size/location is stored in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/SketchUp7/WebDialog_". You should definitely include here the name of your Ruby, which will be concatenated:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/SketchUp7/WebDialog_MyRuby"width, height, left, top - integers - size/location, in pixels, of the first appearance of your WebDialog. All subsequent appearances will be taken from the registry entry.
resizeable - boolean - if false, your user cannot resize the dialog. Defaults to true, if omitted.

ShadowTime_time_t
SunRise_time_t
SunSet_time_t
TZOffset

Topic: WebDialog.new
The second parameter, scrollbars, appears to be operational on the Mac. PCs get scrollbars, regardless.
-
Just a general request for the API docs. When viewing a method which references another class, would it be possible to link to that class? For example, you are the viewing Model.bounds description - it would be nice to be able to jump right to the BoundingBox class.
Thanks.

I wonder if we should lock this list and start a new one for 7.1?

Maybe once Scott has updated the docs first?

Entity.typename
http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entity.html#typenameI think it's worth noting here that
.typenamecomparison is slow and should be avoided if possible. Ref: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=19576&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p166340
.typenameis required if you need to identify entity types that don't have ruby API classes, such as DimensionLinear, DimensionRadial and Polyline3d. And if you scan for these that you check for entities of classDrawingElementbefore you do a.typenamecomaprison. -
"DisplayColorbyLayer" key of RenderinOptions should read "DisplayColorByLayer"

What's wrong with Colorby Layer ?

Try read the value of it. Such a key does not exist.

Did I miss a joke..?

Sketchup.read_default

True if successful, false if unsuccessful.
Surely it would return the value being accessed?
