// This example is deprecated, and is largely replaced by the inlinecpp
// Python module.  Except for the ability to raise exceptions, you can
// implement this example with the following Python code:
//
//     inlinecpp.extendClass(
//         hou.ObjNode,
//         "node_methods",
//         includes="#include <UT/UT_UndoManager.h>",

//     
//         UT_AutoUndoBlock undo_block("Setting selectable flag", ANYLEVEL);

// This sample shows how to extend HOM using C++.  It adds a
// hou.ObjNode.setSelectable method that makes an object node selectable/
// unselectable in the viewport.
//
// NOTE: The _hdk_sample_hom_extensions extension module must first be built.
//       _hdk_sample_hom_extensions.C, which is located in the same
//       directory as this file, contains the module source.
//
//       You can build the extension module using hcustom:
//           hcustom -I <hfs_python_include_dir> -i $HOME/houdini20.5/pythonX.Ylibs _hdk_sample_hom_extensions.C
//
//       where:
//       - "X" is the Python major version that Houdini is built against. 
//       - "Y" is the Python minor version that Houdini is built against.
//       - <hfs_python_include_dir> is:
//           - $HFS/python/include/python2.Y for a Python 2 build on Linux.
//           - $HFS/python/include/python3.Ym for a Python 3 build on Linux.
//           - $HFS/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/python2.Y for a Python 2 build on macOS.
//           - $HFS/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/python3.Ym for a Python 3 build on macOS.
//           - %HFS%/pythonXY/include for a Python 2 or 3 build on Windows.
//
//      For example, to build the module for a Python 2.7 build on Linux, do:
//           hcustom -I $HFS/python/include/python2.7 -i $HOME/houdini20.5/python2.7libs _hdk_sample_hom_extensions.C
//
//      Another example, to build the module for a Python 3.7 build 
//      on macOS, do:
//           hcustom -I $HFS/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/python3.7m -i $HOME/houdini20.5/python3.7libs _hdk_sample_hom_extensions.C
//


// This file is needed for all HDK plugins:
#include <UT/UT_DSOVersion.h>

// We include this file only to get the forward declaration for
// HOMextendLibrary().  See below for details.
#include <HOM/HOM_Module.h>

// This file contains functions that will run arbitrary Python code:
#include <PY/PY_Python.h>

void
HOMextendLibrary()
{
    // When the hou module is first imported, Houdini will call functions named
    // HOMextendLibrary in HDK dso's.  This function is declared in an extern
    // "C" in HOM_Module.h.

    // Run some Python code to add a method to the hou.ObjectNode class that
    // will call our custom function.  We create a Python function
    // that takes in a hou.ObjNode instance.  That function calls path()
    // on the instance to get the full path to the object node, and passes
    // that path and other arguments to the function in the _hom_extensions
    // module.  Then that function is assigned to a method in hou.ObjNode
    // and the function's name is removed from the global dictionary.
