Let's say my digital asset lets me build different species of plants.
A menu in the parameters tab let me choose which species to start with, so that I can then play with the parameters to make some variation.
It would be very helpful for the end user to look at a preview thumbnail/image before selecting the starting species, to avoid wasting time to cook every species just to know how it looks like.
Is there any way to embed images in the parameters tab? With some python magic maybe? :p
Cheers

I can not understand the help of “Make a icon strip parameter”I tried to use .ico format image, it doesn't work.
And now, I am using .png format image, it works…

Hey thanks for the tips guys.
Zeng, could you share the hip file by any chance? or just the code to make this reference to icon.
cheers!
(ps. I'm wondering if it accepts .svg files too)

Here's the hip file.
The Labels will be used as tooltips when the user hovers over an icon.
So I casually give some number to Labels at this case.

Hey Zeng thanks, especially for providing also the python code.
Icons size is pretty small though. I guess there's no way to change the default size

I also wonder if there are some ways to scale the icon. It's tooooooo small…

I suddenly rmb about this frustrating limit, as I'm about to use the icon strip again.
So I've now submitted a feature request to SESI Support.
It's RFE #95064 , in case anybody needs to use bigger icons in the paramaters tab.

UI developing is generally a bit neglected by SideFX,
you should contact the Support Team and ask them to add your name to RFE #95064
I guess the more people, the better the chances are that they care about this.

Will not the pose libray show bigger icons? Don’t have time to dig here, but just asking. If so, the bigger icon feature seem to be implemented there somehow.

I haven't tried the pose library yet, maybe it's a custom python panel built with pyqt?
