galleryEntries(name_pattern=None, label_pattern=None, keyword_pattern=None, category=None, node_type=None) → tuple of hou.GalleryEntry

Return a tuple of hou.GalleryEntry objects matching the search criteria. The result is the intersection of the matches against all the parameters. If you call this function with no parameters, it returns all the gallery entries.

Unless a parameter is None, the results are filtered by the following:

`name_pattern`	gallery entry names matching this pattern
`label_pattern`	gallery entry label names matching this pattern
`keyword_pattern`	gallery entries that have a keyword matching this pattern
`category`	gallery entries in a category matching this pattern
`node_type`	gallery entries that can be applied to this node type

This example prints all the gallery entries starting with a “b” that have the Material keyword.

>>> hou.galleries.galleryEntries("b*", keyword_pattern="Material")
(<hou.GalleryEntry "basic_surface">, <hou.GalleryEntry "bumpy_glass">, ...)

This example prints the name and description of all the entries in the Metals category:

>>> for entry in hou.galleries.galleryEntries(category="Metals"):
...     print "%s: %s" % (entry.name(), entry.description())
chrome: Very bright metal with mirror reflections
aged_metal: Aged metal material with ray traced or environment mapped reflections
...

This example prints the gallery entry names for the lsystem SOP.

>>> node_type = hou.nodeType(hou.sopNodeTypeCategory(), "lsystem")
>>> for entry in hou.galleries.galleryEntries(node_type=node_type):
...     print entry.name()
