Fix¶

• Fix the false warning of unhandled VAlign and HAlign in SCanvas

Default Resources¶

• Add ModalWindow example resource "./ChameleonGallery/example_modal_window.json"
• Remove the "IsModalWindow" field originally in "ChameleonGallery.json". This field will be exclusively used for "ModalWindow"
• Add "DisUnrealStub.py" to separate the huge unreal.py Stub file into individual files by class for easier viewing and code completion in PyCharm and similar tools, see here
• Modify the default size of Chameleon Sketch to avoid scrollbar's flicker in some cases

ChameleonData¶

• Add unreal.ChameleonData.snapshot_sketch command for capturing the current Sketch panel
• Add chameleon_data_instance.get_top_scroll_box_offsets(json_path) for getting the offset of the top scroll box in Chameleon Tool.

• Add chameleon_data_instance.get_scroll_box_offsets(aka_name) for getting the offset of the scroll box in Chameleon Tool with the given name.

• chameleon_data_instance::set_image_from_path(aka_name, image_file_path) supports using absolute paths

Python Editor API¶

Add¶

• Add unreal.PythonBPLib.get_viewport_linear_color_pixels for getting the pixels of the viewport as a linear color array
• unreal.PythonBPLib.exec_python_command, add force_game_thread option to allow Python code to execute on the main thread. When we execute code in a sub-thread, if we need to modify the UI content, we can specify to modify it in the main thread through the force_game_thread option (the UI content can only be modified in the Game thread).

Fix¶

• Fix the issue with the incorrect IsAltDown behavior in unreal.PythonBPLib.get_modifier_keys_state()
