Giving images different name with export image

xi21lipa

Hi, I'm working on 'export image' by myself and the result was not bad.

Now, I'm trying to export some images with different name. The problem is, I already set up the specific name. I couldn't get next image with different name before I change the name in code.

Maybe, I have to treat the name as variable but don't know how to do

could you please help me with it? Here, I'm sharing the code

require 'sketchup.rb'

    def exportimage

      model = Sketchup.active_model
      entities = model.entities
      view = model.active_view

      # Set the camera properties
      eye = [0, 0, -1000]
      target = [0, 0, 0]
      up = [0, 100, 0]

      # Create the camera and make it active
      cam = Sketchup;;Camera.new eye, target, up
      view.camera = cam
      view.zoom_extents 

      # Set file property
      keys = {
        # Naming file
        ;filename => "c;/temp/_image.png",

        # Pixel setting
        ;width => 500,
        ;height => 500,

        # Tranparent setting
        ;transparent => false
      }
      view.write_image keys

    end # def ExportImage

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if( not file_loaded?("exportimage.rb") )
add_separator_to_menu("Plugins")

if $submenu!=nil
$submenu.add_item("ExportImage") { exportimage }
else
UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("ExportImage") { exportimage }
end
end
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
file_loaded("exportimage.rb")

with the code. All the name of images I produced was '_image'. I would like to get images have different name without changing the line "c:/temp/_image.png", in the code.

you can't not change that line, "c:/temp/_image.png" IS your image name...

each new one will overwrite the previous...

if you want different names that line has to change...

Then, what if I don't specify an image file path? Only the name and extension of image file will be remained and it looks like it can be treated... using #{name}
