Starting from TAPython v1.3.0, you can quickly create custom Editor Modes using JSON for UI definition and Python for logic, without writing any C++ code, with support for live hot-reloading.

In this Article, we will introduce some of our attempts and practices to improve the performance of modifying SImage content in Python in Unreal Engine, and how to use memory copy to transfer data from Python to c++.

This article will introduce some of our attempts and practices to improve the performance of using Python to modify SImage content in Unreal Engine with TAPython, and how to use Memory Copy to transfer data from Python to c++ in Unreal Engine.

In the latest TAPython, we can dynamically add widgets through Python code, now we can do some cooler things.

With MaterialEditingLirary and PythonMaterialLib of TAPython，we can script almost every material operations with Python.
And we can get deep detail from expressions and material, for instance the connections between expressions and shadermap.

TAPython has several methods for set pixels of RenderTexture2D and SImage, so we can edit the SImage widget or RenderTarget2D in the editor with python code.

The Sketch tool of TAPython let developer preview the unreal Slate UI in realtime. With the live-templates in Pycharm, it can be considerably faster when coding the UI widgets. In this article I will introduce how to use Live-Templates in pycharm and try to code this UI in less than 90 seconds

In short, we can use Python to do almost every thing you did manually in the editor with User defined ENum, User Defined Struct and DataTable.
