Can I draw lines in the editor using BaseDraw through a python tag?

Yes, you can draw into the editor view overriding TagData.Draw(self, tag, op, bd, bh) : bd is the BaseDraw.

Thank you for the reply, Yannick.
So, I assume that it is only possible for a .pype file, not for a python script tag.

Yes, that's fine if you're writing a TagData in python, and was my first reaction. Then I wondered if rui actually meant drawing in the editor using a python tag in the OM (i.e. right-click object, scripting tags, python).
From the look of it you should be able to. If you get the active document, then call ActiveBaseDraw on that, you should be able to draw in the designated render view in the editor. But I haven't tried it.

I am trying to do so, but the lines always appear traced (dashed) and I can't seem to find a way to make them solid.
Also, I'm having a hard time drawing them in world coordinates.

Not sure about the dashed lines, but BaseView (from which BaseDraw is derived) has a screen to world coordinates function.

You can't, the results are not the same. That might be the reason where the dashed lines come from
Not quite sure who told me, but someone from the support did tell me that drawing is only allowed
from the Draw() method. I also remember crashing C4D when I used to draw something within
GetVirtualObjects().

Oh, ok... I will try to create a Tag plugin.
Thank you.
