‌Calling Arbitrary Sizzle Functions ‌

You can easily call any function using obj.Call("function", args. ). For example,

msh.Call("ApplyCameraMap", cam)

dist = msh.Call("IntersectDistance", pos, [1,0,0]) # from vector pos along X

The argument-passing and return interface accommodates the python object None, strings, numbers, points, vectors, and transforms, as well as SynthEyes trackers, cameras/moving objects, phases, meshes, splines, lights, extra points, and notes.

Be sure to pass arguments with the correct type, ie don't pass the string "10" to an argument expecting a number. You must convert it to the correct type first, or the call will fail.

You'll receive a python object representing the return value, with any of the types above. Note that different python objects can represent the same Sizzle object.
