Executing a ruby file

[simonstaton]

Hi,

I was just wondering how I would execute an external .rb file on an event. I have a file called box.rb which is one of googles examples however how do I run this when a button is pressed?

If you look in the box.rb file you see the menu creation: UI.menu("Draw").add_item($exStrings.GetString("Box")) { create_box }

So from that you know the command to trigger the command: create_box

That is assuming that box.rbis loaded.

That is assuming that box.rb is loaded.

HOWEVER... there is a bug in box.rb, if Tools/make_pano_pm.rb is also loaded (it loads after box.rb,) and redefines the create_box method; so the box object is never created.

I posted a fixed version of box.rb
[Example] box.rb version 2.0.0
