6.1. How to show or hide the movie maker

In this example we will show how to show or hide the movie maker.

This code snippet will work only if the current selected View is a 3D view.

Let’s toggle the movie saver visibility:

from ORSServiceClass.OrsPlugin.abstractContext import AbstractContext
from OrsLibraries.workingcontext import WorkingContext
currentContext = AbstractContext.getCurrentContext()
currentView = WorkingContext.getCurrentView(currentContext)

if currentView.getIsIn2DViewMode():
    print('current view is in 2D')
else:
    # Let's find the Layout plugin of the view
    layoutPlugin = currentView.getContext()
    if layoutPlugin is not None:
        layoutPlugin.toggleVisibilityMovieSaverInCurrentView()
