How to get the current viewport shading modes using python

[mfersaoui]

Hi,
Is it possible to get the current shading modes with python ( the shading mode selected in the menu Display : Gouraud Shading, Gouraud Shading (Lines) or Quick Shading...)
Thanks!

Hello,

the display mode of a given viewport window (BaseView) is stored in its BASEDRAW_DATA_SDISPLAYACTIVE parameter.

baseDraw = doc.GetActiveBaseDraw()
if baseDraw is None:
   raise RuntimeError()

display = baseDraw.GetParameter(c4d.BASEDRAW_DATA_SDISPLAYACTIVE, c4d.DESCFLAGS_GET_0)

if display == c4d.BASEDRAW_SDISPLAY_GOURAUD:
    print("Gouraud Shading")
if display == c4d.BASEDRAW_SDISPLAY_QUICK:
    print("Quick Shading")

See also the BaseView / BaseDraw Manual.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Thank you. Sorry for tags, I added tags in my topic but were not included. I don't know why.
