Dear SC Team, I have spent several days now trying to create a function that has SCFloatRef as arguments and that returns a value. I am not asking for code support but for documentation, although if I cannot have it work on my own I'd like to use your paying services as I need to move on. I have read former posts and your answers refer to this: C++ Functions : it is very clear and I have no problem writing functions provided they do not have arguments related to SC (i.e. int, float,...) but when I have to use SCSubgraphRef or SCFloatArrayRef, it just won't pass the compiler test and I do not understand why. I therefore have tried to look for models and have thoroughly studied sc.MovingAverage and sc.GetLowest as examples. I have not been able to find the code. All the available studies call those functions and it is clear how to use sc.functions but I cannot use any "primary" function source codes as an example to help me because I simply cannot find them. I also have looked into the header files and I have found the declarations, but I am stuck. 1- Is it possible to have access to any code (the simplest the better) with SCarguments to pass and a returned value? 2- Would it be possible in case I cannot solve it on my own to buy a consulting service: I would provide you with a easy code (about 100 lignes) that works as a study that I would like to have someone turn into a function? Thank you for your support. Regards, Laurent |

I meant SCFloatArrayRef. Sorry

Do you still need help with this because this is marked as hidden? If you can attach the source code you are having a problem with we will have a quick look. You can privately attach that as a CPP file.

Dear SC Team, 1- I hid the post because I wrote I was considering to eventually buy a consulting service from SC and I was not sure you wanted that to go public. 2- Thank you very much for your answer and the help offer. I will not bother you with that this time because I eventually solved my problem when I ran into a huge piece of code provided by a gentlemen on the forum, I analysed it and realized I needed to declare my function as such: void function(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, ...). I would never have figured out this was required as I do not understand why. May I suggest you mention it here: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) may be with an example? 3- I have somme additional questions re. functions if they fall within the scope of your support: 3.1- The function I wrote is within a study where it is called from. I'd like it in a separate file. Should I write a .cpp file containing the function code like I would for a study? 3.2- I have to create a 'myOwnStudy.h' file to declare the function and #include "myOwnStudy.h" in my studies that will call the functions? 3.3- Would you have any example you can provide (moving average...)? Once again, thank you for your support. Regards, Laurent |

2. The example you are looking for is already here: ACSIL Programming Concepts: Passing ACSIL Interface Members Structure To Secondary Function Should I write a .cpp file Yes.containing the function code like I would for a study? 3.2- I have to create a 'myOwnStudy.h' file to declare the function and #include "myOwnStudy.h" in my studies that will call the functions?

I eventually solved my problem when I ran into a huge piece of code provided by a gentlemen on the forum, I analysed it and realized I needed to declare my function as such:
void function(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, ...). I would never have figured out this was required as I do not understand why. May I suggest you mention it here: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) may be with an example? I am stuck at a similar problem where I need to define my own function for calculation. Can you give me the source for the code you mentioned here? It'd be a huge help. Thanks. |
